Giappone

Il Giappone è uno Stato insulare dell'Asia orientale. Situato nell'oceano Pacifico, il Giappone è limitato a ovest dal mar del Giappone, a nord dal mare di Ochotsk, a est dall'oceano Pacifico settentrionale e a sud dal mar Cinese Orientale. È un arcipelago per lo più collinare di 6 852 isole, le cui cinque più grandi sono Hokkaidō, Honshū, Kyūshū, Shikoku e Okinawa, che da sole rappresentano circa il 97% della superficie terrestre del Giappone. Molte isole sono montagne, alcune di origine vulcanica. La vetta più alta è il Monte Fuji, un vulcano attivo. Con una popolazione di circa 126 milioni di abitanti è l'undicesimo Stato più popoloso del mondo. La Grande Area di Tokyo, che include Tokyo e numerose prefetture vicine, è la più grande area metropolitana del mondo con oltre 38 milioni di residenti. Ricerche archeologiche indicano che l'arcipelago è abitato dal Paleolitico superiore e la prima menzione scritta è rintracciabile in un libro di storia cinese del I secolo a.C. Il paese fu a lungo dominato da signori feudali e dalla casta guerriera dei samurai, quindi dal Bakufu sino al 1867, quando divenne un impero limitatamente parlamentare. Fu una delle grandi potenze tra XIX e XX secolo fino alla disfatta del 1945, dopo la quale ha imboccato un percorso di democratizzazione: nel 1947 una nuova Costituzione privò l'imperatore del Giappone di numerosi poteri e sancì la rinascita del parlamento. Grande potenza regionale asiatica, il Giappone ha la terza maggiore economia per prodotto interno lordo e la quarta maggiore per potere d'acquisto; è anche il quarto maggiore esportatore e il sesto maggiore importatore a livello mondiale. È inoltre uno Stato membro del G7. Lo Stato ha un moderno apparato militare utilizzato per l'autodifesa, per missioni di pace e per aiutare gli alleati all'estero nel rispetto della Costituzione. Il Giappone si piazza ventesimo a livello mondiale per lo sviluppo umano, vanta una qualità di vita molto elevata e una tra le più alte speranze di vita al mondo: ciò ha comunque portato a un costante invecchiamento della popolazione, pressione demografica e ricadute economico-sociali importanti che, assieme all'emergenza ambientale, costituiscono le principali sfide odierne per il paese.

Nagoya City Museum

Nagoya

Nagoya is the largest city in the Chūbu region of Japan. It is Japan's fourth-largest incorporated city and the third most populous urban area. Located on the Pacific coast on central Honshu, it is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and is one of Japan's major ports along with those of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, and Chiba. It is also the center of Japan's third-largest metropolitan region, known as the Chūkyō metropolitan area. As of 1 October 2019, 2,327,557 people lived in the city, part of Chūkyō metropolitan Area's 10.11 million people, making it one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world. In 1610, the warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu, a retainer of Oda Nobunaga, moved the capital of Owari Province from Kiyosu to Nagoya. This period saw the renovation of Nagoya Castle. Nagoya was proclaimed a city in 1889, during the Meiji Restoration; it became a major industrial hub for Japan. The traditional manufactures of timepieces, bicycles, and sewing machines were followed by the production of special steels, chemicals, oil, and petrochemicals, as the area's automobile, aviation, and shipbuilding industries flourished. Nagoya was impacted by bombing from US air raids during World War II. After the war, Nagoya developed into a major port and transport center. The Shinkansen high-speed line connecting Tokyo and Osaka converges on Nagoya. Nagoya is served by two airports: Chubu Centrair International Airport in nearby Tokoname, and Nagoya Airfield, home to Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. Nagoya remains an important center for the automotive, aviation, and ceramic industries, hosting the headquarters of Brother Industries, Ibanez, Lexus, and Toyota Tsusho, among others. Nagoya is home to Nagoya University, the Nagoya Institute of Technology, and Nagoya City University. It is also the location of numerous cultural institutions, including the Tokugawa Art Museum, Atsuta Shrine, Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens, Aichi Arts Center, and Misono-za. Nagoya TV Tower is the oldest TV tower in Japan.
