Japan is the country where the sun is going down.

Japan is located in the easternmost part of Asia in the Northern Hemisphere.
Therefore it was called "the base of the rising sun", which became "日本".

After World War Ⅱ, Japan had stood on the balanced power among big countries.
First, Korean War let japan make headway.
Secondly, the cold war made Japan democratic.
In the period of the economic bubble Japan bought buildings all over the world.

After the bubble burst, we Japanese have been like bedridden elderly people.

Hikikomori syndrome made many promising young people void.
According to a inquiry done by a university, almost half of recruits don't want to work abroad.
If you see the number of international students from Japan, comparing with Chinese and Koreans, you'll be surprised at the small number.

Now Chinese people are coming to Japan to buy buildings.
From now on China is the country where the sun is rising.
