Japan, a constitutional monarchy and empire state, is located on the eastern margin of Asia and consists of four major islands:
- Honshu
- Hokkaido
- Kyushu
- Shikoku
and many small islands. It is separated from the mainland of Asia by the Sea of Japan. To the east is the Pacific Ocean.
The country is made up of six chains of steep serrated mountains, which contain about 60 active volcanoes.
Earthquakes are frequent and widespread and often accompanied by giant waves (tsunami).
Summers are warm and humid and winters mild, except on Hokkaido which is covered in snow in winter.
Japan's agriculture is highly advanced with extensive use made of fertilizers and miniature machinery for the small fields. Fishing is important.
Most of the population live in the densely populated coastal towns and cities, and speak Japanese. The main religions are Shintoism and Buddhism.
After WWII Japan embarked upon a course of economic growth that has placed it in the top echelons of the largest industrial economies in the world. It is very dependant on imported raw materials and its success is based on manufacturing industry and innovation. Much of the workforce is employed in industry.
Japan's exports include cars, ships, iron & steel and electronic goods.
