seifa-utaki
seifa-utaki in okinawa. a UNESCO world heritage site. the most sacred site in okinawa is seifa-utaki (斎場御嶽), a shrine located in the south east of the island. the natural ceremonial altars at seifa-utaki are named after rooms in shuri castle. due to its strong connections to the ryukyuan royal family, entrance to seifa-utaki was limited to royal officials. seifa-utaki is composed of two significant words. the first word, seifa, refers to a place holding divine power. while utaki refers to sacred places in the ryukyuan language. therefore this word is specific to japan's southwest islands. this UNESCO world heritage site is one of seven sacred places in okinawa.

Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1996) Music - Japan
The music that plays at Nara (Tōdai-ji), Japan. World Wiz Wikipedia Official Name: Japan Capital City: Tokyo Largest City: Tokyo Currencies: Yen Total Area: 145925 Total Population: 127 Million Languages: Japanese, Aynu itak, Ryukyuan languages, Eastern Japanese, Western Japanese, and several other Japanese dialects Japan, officially Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku) is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun". Japan is an archipelago of 6852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 127 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents. Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese history texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. In the late 19th ...

Speaking Japanese & Chinese At The Same Time 汉语
Japanese its easy for me, but Chinese is very hard to speak, saying funny shit & jokes. this is my first time speaking chinese so it was hard. no lie. japanese (日本語?, [nihoŋɡo] ( listen)) is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities. It is related to the Japonic-Ryukyuan languages. Its relationships with other languages remain undemonstrated. It is an agglutinative language and is distinguished by a complex system of honorifics reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, with verb forms and particular vocabulary to indicate the relative status of the speaker, the listener, and a person mentioned in conversation (regardless of their presence). The sound inventory of Japanese is relatively small, and it has a lexically distinct pitch-accent system. It is a mora-timed language. The Japanese language is written with a combination of three different types of scripts: modified Chinese characters called kanji (漢字), and two syllabic scripts made up of modified Chinese characters, hiragana (平仮名) and katakana (片仮名). The Latin alphabet, rōmaji (ローマ字), is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, and when entering Japanese text into a computer. Western style Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers, but traditional Sino-Japanese numerals are also commonplace (see Japanese numerals). Japanese vocabulary has been heavily influenced by loanwords from other ...
