The first organized national league was organized in 1965, consisting of eight amateur company clubs. A bronze at the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games boosted the sport's popularity, but it remained semi-pro until 1992, when the Japan Professional Football League, commonly known as J.League, was formed, made up of nine teams from the semi-pro Japan Soccer League and the newly formed Shimizu S-Pulse. The increasing intensity of heavy rainfall events and associated flooding, such as those we are currently witnessing, is an expected consequence of a warming climate due to our emissions of greenhouse gases,” said Richard Allan, a professor in climate science at the UK’s University of Reading.

The general beauty standards in Japan include flawless skin, a petite figure, skinny legs, smooth and fair skin, and a quiet personality. However, these standards are unrealistic in today’s modern world. Everybody is beautiful in their own way. Most numbers have two readings, one derived from Chinese used for cardinal numbers ( On reading) and a native Japanese reading ( Kun reading) used somewhat less formally for numbers up to 10. In some cases (listed below) the Japanese reading is generally preferred for all uses. Archaic readings are marked with †.For our national teams to have not played for the best part of two years has had a huge impact," Iwabuchi said. I N THE ECONOMIST’s 2022 glass-ceiling index, an annual measure of the role and influence of women in the workforce in 29 countries, only South Korea scored lower than Japan. The World Economic Forum’s 2022 Global Gender Gap Report, which also factors in political representation, ranked Japan 116th out of 146 countries. That would have been little surprise to Japanese women, who are used to living in a strict patriarchal society. The government aspires to create a society “in which all women shine”, a slogan that seems unintentionally ironic, since Japanese women have always lived in the shadow of men. Murasaki Shikibu, a lady-in-waiting of the imperial court in the 11th century who wrote “The Tale of Genji”, thought to be the first novel in history, described the discrimination she suffered. She wrote in her diary that her father would often sigh and say, “If only you were a boy.” Such a sentiment is familiar to Japanese women 1,000 years later. They routinely abandon their professional ambitions to prioritise their husbands and children. They are less visible in public life than women in other rich countries. These books, and one film, help to illuminate those Japanese—half the population—whom the government says it wants to usher into the light. But they typically come after the item + particle, such as はがきを五枚買います ( Hagaki wo gomai kaimasu, “I will buy 5 postcards”). はがき (item counted) を (particle) 五枚 (number + counter) 買います (verb). These bombings, along with depleted armed forces and the looming threat of invasion from the Soviet Union, led the Empire of Japan to surrender unconditionally to the Allies in September 1945. Over the centuries, Japan has alternated between feudal, empirical, religious and government rule, with each period birthing different styles of art, architecture and spirituality. Buddhism and Confucianism, introduced in 552 BC and AD 285, respectively, both proved massively influential on the class structures and governance of pre-modern Japan. You can still visit and stay in many Buddhist temples in Japan today. 20th century

Reversing the last sentence, 五枚のはがきを買います ( Gomai no hagaki wo kaimasu) means the same thing but puts the emphasis on the quantity. It’s usually said this way in response to a question (like “How many did you buy?”). A Final Note on Japanese Counters Both were introduced at the dawn of the 1990s and ended up powering two excellent sports cars. The first to hit the streets was the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R, but since it was so good, it was carried over to the next two iterations that came out in 1995 (R33) and 1999 (R34). For one person, you say ひとり ( hitori), and for two people you say ふたり ( futari). Any number after that is the Sino-Japanese number system followed by ~人, such as 三人 ( sannin, “three people”). Japanese Counters for Long Objects Old Japanese shares some vocabulary with later periods, but there are also unique number terms over 10 which are not used any more, aside from being parts of specific lexemes. Used for small objects, connect ~個 ( ko) to the number to count it. And it’s also used for round objects, like apples: リンゴ二個 ( ringo niko, ‘two apples”). Japanese Counters for AnimalsThe first three numbers with multisyllabic names and variation in assigned values ultimately derive from India, though they did not have defined values there. 恒河沙 gōgasha was originally used in Buddhist scripture for an indefinitely large quantity; it derives from the Sanskrit गङ्गा gangā ' Ganges' (which conveniently includes the character 河 ka 'river') and 沙 sha 'sand', referring to the innumerable sands of the Ganges River. 阿僧祇 asōgi, from Sanskrit असंख्येय asaṃkhyeya 'uncountable/innumerable', with the negative prefix 阿 a, and 那由他 nayuta is from Sanskrit नयुत/नयुतः nayuta(ḥ). After that, the numbers are Buddhist terms translated into or coined in Chinese and later assigned numerical values: 不可思議 fukashigi 'unimaginable' and 無量大数 muryōtaisū 'immeasurably large number'. Although 本 means “book” in Japanese, it isn’t the counter for books (that’s ~冊, satsu, which is the counter for bound objects, like manga). tsuitachi) 2nd – ふつか ( futsuka) 3rd – みっか ( mikka) 4th – よっか ( yokka) 5th – いつか ( itsuka) 6th – むいか ( muika) 7th – なのか ( nanoka) 8th – ようか ( youka) 9th – ここのか ( kokonoka) 10th – とおか ( tooka) 14th – じゅうよっか ( juuyokka) 20th – はつか ( hatsuka) 24th – にじゅうよっか ( nijuuyokka) While there is evidence the archipelago has been occupied by humans for around 35,000 years, what we know now as ‘Japan’ began to take shape about 1700 years ago as disparate tribes started to unify.
