| | | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese yen - The name In Japanese it is usually pronounced "en", but the pronunciation "yen" is standard in English. The yen was originally written in the same way in Kanji as the yuan (圓 pinyin yuán), the Chinese unit for currency. Modern Japanese writings now use a character (円) which is different from the one commonly used (as shorthand) in Chinese (元). The Latinized symbol for the Yen however, is identical to the one for the Renminbi, although the PRC ...

| | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese idol - History The idol phenomenon began during the early seventies and this reflected increasingly materialistic and richer Japanese youths. Teenage girls, mostly between 14 and 16, began rising to stardom. One in particular, Momoe Yamaguchi, was a huge star until her retirement for marriage in 1980. Idols dominated the pop music scene in the 80s; and this period is known as the "Golden Age of Idols in Japan". In a single year, as many as 40 or 50 new idols could appear, only to disappear from the public spotlight shortly afterwards. A few idols from that ...

Japanese poetry - Poems in Kojiki and Nihonshoki.
Until Korean scholars brought Chinese classical texts to Japan in the 6th century, Japanese was an unwritten language. The oldest written work in Japanese literature is Kojiki in the 8th century, in which Ota Yasumaro recorded Japanese mythology and history as recited by Hieda no Are, to whom it was handed down by his ancestors. Many of the poetic pieces recorded by the Kojiki were perhaps transmitted from the time the Japanese had no w ...

| | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese baseball - History Baseball was introduced to Japan in 1872 by Horace Wilson, and its first formal team was established in 1878. For almost 30 years, until 1906, a game could be viewed freely, as it was considered shameful to take money for doing something the players liked. In 1907, the first game was held that had a fee to watch. From 1908, several U.S. professional teams made their tours and had a match against amateur teams made up mostly by university students. Realizing that a professional league was necessary to improve, two professional teams were esta ...

Japanese nationalism - Tradition.
The bushido (warrior way) — the samurai code —. When the daimyo system was abolished the code was adopted for ideological purposes and ultranationalist doctrine.

As Minister of Education, he supported the integration ...

| | | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese toilet - History Toilets have been used in Japan since the start of civilization, although their exact construction and use are unknown. The earliest sewer systems are from the Yayoi period (300 BC to A.D. 250). These systems were used in larger settlements, probably in combination with toilets. During the Nara period (710 to 784), a drainage system was created in the capital in Nara, consisting of 10-15 cm wide streams where the user can squat over with one foot on each side of the stream. Wooden sticks were used as a sort of toilet paper. The earliest know ...

| | | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese kitchen - Industrialization An American scientist, Edward S. Morse recorded many of the kitchens in urban and rural areas in early Meiji period. These kitchens were not much different from those in the Edo period as gas and electricity have only began to be used even in America and Europe. Though it was costly to lay down infrastructures, these were dutifully laid down under a heavy subsidization by semi-private and national companies.
A large change occurred in the early 1900s in Japanese cuisine and it would be senseless to skip this major topic when talking a ...

| | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese yen - History The yen was introduced by the Meiji government in 1870 as a system resembling those in Europe. The yen replaced the complex monetary system of the Edo period, based on the mon. The New Currency Act of 1871 stipulated the adoption of the decimal accounting system of yen (1, 圓), sen (1⁄100, 錢), and rin (1⁄1000, 厘), with the coins being round and cast as in the West. (The sen and the rin were eventually taken out of circulation ...

| | | | | Japanese: Encyclopedia II - Japanese fascism - Bases of Japanese nationalism Japanese nationalism is in fact quite different from European fascism, yet in parts its development can be seen as comparable. Elements of it have been discussed under the label of Asiatic Fascism or Japanese Fascism.
The Yamato Empire had the concept of the state as led by a powerful singular leader (Emperor). In feudal times, the military caste, that included the bushi and the samurai, were organized as a single headquarters-like structure, the Shogunate, which represented the required civil and political power. In thi ...
