1. Introduction The country that I investigate is Japan. The element I choose is the sports in Japan. The development of sports in Japan started from the Edo period. Sports is a popular way for people to spend their free time at that period. Although the sports in Japan is developing, the problem was that people were always accompanied by gambling. However, after the Meiji restoration and the end of the second world war, with the economic recovery and growth, the sports development in Japan become

Tokyo Tokyo is a very condensed place that has a lot of things to do. Some human characteristics, or things that were built by people are roads, skyscrapers, subway stations, and national parks. Roads and subway stations are both ways of transportation, but are actually very different. If you take the roads there will be some heavy traffic because there is so many people there.

The movies Tokyo Godfather, Grave of the Fireflies, and Nobody Knows (Dare mo Shiranai) were all produced, written, and created by different people, but they all present the themes of loneliness and abandonment. However, due to differences in setting, age of the protagonists, and reasons for being homeless, there are many more differences than similarities. The first difference is that the protagonists of each of the movies are different ages. In Tokyo Godfathers, we have Hana, a transgender ex-drag

During the 17th and 18th century, drama played a huge role in impacting the urban environment of Beijing and Edo, and its citizens.

The Meiji Restoration provided a catapult of overhaul within Japan. During the Tokugawa era, Japan was split amongst hundreds of feudal domains, and the emperor was little more than a symbol compared to the rule of the bafuku government. The advent of Western dominance in the late 19th century demonstrated the regime’s vulnerability to foreign pressure, and incapability to deal with it.
