Country

Japan, the island nation where the sun rises, has its roots in ancient mythology, with its first emperor enthroned in 660 BC according to legend. Its history is a tapestry of emperors, samurai, and shoguns. Closed off from the world for centuries, it emerged into modernity with astonishing speed during the Meiji Restoration, becoming a world power. Its culture, a blend of deep tradition and cutting-edge innovation, fascinates the world.
