I have looked up some of the brilliant toys that Japan has.One of the toys that I found was a miniature toy turtle it is small enough to fit in your palm.You press it's shell and it starts to walk.Another thing Japan has made was the mobile phone was first made in the cars but then started a bag on the shoulder then you can start gettin drinks from your cell phone.Today Japan is very good with graphics and has great animations like Godzilla and has great affects.
I looked up rare animals in Japan and one of them is the Japanese Crane. It's known for its slender, and elegant figure. They say it's most beautiful when it's wings are spred apart. After Worl War 2 there was not many of them any more.
I found stuff about the Japanese River Otter. It ia apart of the weasle family. It went in danger when there was a pelt hunt. The last time they saw one was in 1979. It has been classifide as a crieicly endangered.
i looked up rare animals in Japan and this is what I have so far. I was currently looking at the Japanese River Otter. It is a member of the weasel family and can grow up to 28 inches tall. It's number has been decreasing because of pelt hunting.
I'm doing research on the eclipes of Japan. The eclipse is made in Japan. They are shipped over seas in metal boxes. They have many different versions. It was named after a race horse. It has a lot of relationships with other cars.
Yesturday in geography we started learning about Japan, and today we are even more brilliant things about the counrty!
Mr. Black has decided to let us look up what we desired to about Japan and I picked to learn about their sports culture, specificly baseball.
Szuki Ichiro is a famous baseball star in Japan. He was born on December 24th 1972 and first held a baseball bat at age three, also devloped a great interest for the love of baseball. Ichiro holds nine records, one of his most famous records is that he was the first baseball player to get 200 hit in one season!
That is what I learned about today in geography.
In Japan they eat many different kinds of food like sushi,Tofu. There favorrite dish is Miso Soup. Itis made out of a mixing of Miso paste,and dashi. The paste is made of soy beans,rice or barley,and salt. The soup can be preprared with vegetables,meat,fish,tofu,or any combo of these.
Pearl Harbor:
Pearl harbor is located on a harbor on an island of O'chu'Hawaii. Much of the island is United States Navy headquarters. SAlso headquaters to U.S. Pacific Fleet. Tha attack was very unexpected. It took place a beautiful; peaceful DSunday after noon,December 7,1491. The attack wrecked two Navy battleships, one minelayer, two destroyers, and destroyed 188 aircrafts. The bombing also killed and injured 3,500 Americans. The attack brought the United States into World War Two. The U.S. finally stopped the war by atomic bombing two Japanese cities.
Today i searched and learned about the history of Pearl Hardor(hawaii, Sunday, December7, 1941.)Some things i have learned was, on Saturday, December6, president Franklin Roosevelt makeshis last apperance to the amperor of Japan for peace. But after his apperance their is no response fromt eh emperor afterwards, but latter that day the U.S sends a message,intercepting a 14-part maeeage and deciphers . The Americans believed that the Japanese attack is imminent and more likely in Southern Asia.
:Dhave a great day!
Fugi Speedway
The "track" was established in 1963 and was to be 2.5 miles long. There was supposed to be Nascar races there but wasn't enough money. So Mitsubidhi Estate Co. invested the project in October 1965. After renavations it opened in Decmemeber 1965. It was still kinda dangerous with a bank turn leading in many injuries, and accidients.To many accidients one the "Super Speedway' lead to Forumala leaving the speed way. The track was also used for drag races, and national races.
Im commenting about my favorite baseball player daisuka matsuzaka. He is from Tokyo Japan. He plays for the Boston Red Soxs.He is a starting pitcher. He supposivly throws the gyro ball. He was drafted by them last year. He is 27 years old and was the MVP of 2006 worold baseball classic. In his carrer he has 229 strikeouts, and his carrer has only been a year long.
Tokyo is Japan's capital. Jappenesse make all different kinds of cars, my favorite is the lambergini, and the Ferrai. Japans most famous capital is new year, it is called Shogasta. One of the major sports in japan is baseball. there are 12 professional teams in the laege. the most important event i found was that Japan held the 2006 Winter Olminpics. Most of the children play soccer (football). One of the japennes foods are shushi and shushi balls.
Yokos means welcome in Jananese. People in Japan call Japan Nippon and Ninon.Ninon and Nippon mean "The sun's origin".
I leared that Buddism it was made in the 6th century b.c. in India. Oneof teir most famous band is Nokko. Also they are pretty famous for Manga comics in USA.
Japan houses are built by standing up wooden columns on top of flat land or stones. To avoid weater from the ground to get in they raise the floor up several tens of centimeters off the ground. Most of the rooms are covered in mats called tatami. These mats are made of rush grass. They use theses mats because they rarely use chairs.
Rice is a very important food to Japan. A Japanese meal traditionally has some kind of rice, with a main dish of either fish or meat, cooked veggies, soup, and pickled veggies. Japanese people use chopsticks to eat. Today, Japanese people eat foods from many other countries. Like, Europe, North America, and other Asian countries.In many Japanese cities fast-food is very popular. Also, before they eat they say, "itadakimasu". Meaning "I recieve this food". Once they are finished they say,"gochiso sama deshita", which means, "it was quite a feast".

They have lexus's. they have suzuki, honda, toyota, nissan, daihats, mishtibushy, may fair, honda, sodura, yamaha, and fords, and contessy, and isuzu thats my japan cars
People in Japan celebrate holidays just like we do. The most important holiday they celebrate is New Years. Right before the clock strikes midnight, people ring bells from the temples. There is 108 bells rung all together. Eight are rung for the old year and 100 for the new. Just think how much earsplitting noise that would be! My most favorite information that I found was that children receive money in beautiful decorated envelopes. How cool is that!

The first plane hit it's target at 7:53AM. The second one hit at 8:55. At 9:55 it was all over. It is located in Hawaii.
The Japanese attack fleet left Japan on November 26,1941.On DEcember 7,1941 the battle group was in position to attack 275 miles north of Pearl Harbor.After one hour and forty minutes the Japanese were coming over Hawaii.At 0749 the Japanese attacked.The bombard was a success. Americans later responded with an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6,1945.
Japan has a very different language than us. Japanese people do not use verb conjugations, they also do not use gender of nouns. The Japanese do not use articales(a,the). Another thing is they do not use singular and plural. Japanese peopleonlyhave 48 sounds.
Today I read about Japanese sports. I learned six new things about Japan. First, I learned that no matter if they win, lose, or draw, players enthusiastically cheer for the players who are determined and have effort. Japanese do martal art and Judo. Judo is when they don't use or at least try not to use weapons.When they do Karate as well they don't use weapons. Kyudo is a Japanese sprot that which is when they hold a competition where they ride on the back of horses and shoot arows. They also play soccer like us!
Do you know what the word meal means in Japan is? Well it gohan.That is weared name. A traditional Japanese meal consist of a serving of plain white rice, along with fish or meat and with a side of vegetables.For breakfast they usually have miso soup.
Japan soccer is as big baseball and there is J1 and J2 league. J league is causing a lot of popularity[ was in 1998 and in 2002 they co hosted with Korea

Today in Geography class, I learned about Japan and its food.
In Japan the word "meal" is gohan. This is actually referd to rice.
Traditional meals are mostly a serving of plain white rice, along with a dish of fish or meat as the main dish, cooked vegetables as a side dish, and miso soup.
The rice is sticky which is good for eating it with chopsticks.
Cities have many fast-foods restaurants offering hamburgers and fried chicken.
Before eating, Japanese people say "itadakimasu," as a way of saying thank you for making me this food. After eating, say "gochiso sama deshita" to thank that person for making such a good meal.

It is about a young boy who is an outcast from his village because there is an evil demon inside him. He takes many years to pass ninja school, but he finally does. Then he is put on a squad with other ninjas and they try to defeat the evil Orochimaru. It is an okay Tv show and is on every Saturday night at 9:30 or 10:00 on Cartoon Network.

that all about the school!!
in the agriculture of Japan. Crop prouction is vital in Japan and only 13% of the land is farmed and cultivated. They carry cultivation up very high mountains.
Japan has a intensive cultivation.
Agriculture existis in every part of Japan. And that's my report on Japan.
I looked up sports car racing.It is a form of curcuit auto racing with automobiles that have two seats and enclosed wheels.They may be purposebuilt or related to road-going sports cars.I think it's really cool.The cars look really fast.The first curcuit auoto race was in 1923,it is one of the oldest motor races still in existence.From:Tyler price
Today in geog. I learned alot. Like martial arts origin is from samurais and caste system.Alos Koryu means traditional school or old school.Jujtsu or literally translates to art of pliance.
Today Ij learned aliitle bit more about my favorite Japenese t.v. show. It was Created by a man by the name of Arira Toryama. It's gernes are action and science fiction. I picked this because it is my favorite tv show. There are stages but in this they are called sagas.
I learned that Japan has a lot of music,and bands. Naruto was made in Japan by Masashi Kishimoto the creater of Naruto. is a formal, apprentice of akirarpriyama.
Daisuke was born September 13th 1980 in Hagitsburg District, Aomori. He grew up in Tokyo. He is the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Socks. He bats and throws right handed. His number is 18. In Japan he got seven golen gloves. I hope you learned something about Daisuke Matsuzaka.
The massively popular Yu-Gi-Oh series was made in Japan, and it all started with a man named Kazuki Takahashi. As a child he loved art, and had an amazing imagination.It began when he was a teenager going to a high school in Japan where these traits led him to create some mangas. Unfortunetly,though,these beggining mangas were amazing disasters which dissapointed him greatly. All of these failures may have persuaded him to give up, luckily though, his love of video games gave him an idea. That idea was that if a character in a game could be become a heroe than why couldn't a character in a manga series do the same. Keeping this in mind he came up with another idea, Yu-Gi-Oh. After sending his work into the Shonen Jump company where it became an instant success. Well after this main jolt to his career the fan mail came pouring in mostly with questions concerning how to play the game, and where to get it. These questions, which kept appearing, persuaded him to mainly focus on the card game which also became an instant success due to the fact that kids didn't play card games that much, and mainly played video games which were very popular, at least during those times, giving him a wide oppurtunity for his card game. Well, all of these things are some of the factors that led to his successful career as the maker of the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise.

P.S. NOT COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL MR.BLACK I GOT ALL OF THIS INFO[OR AT LEAST MOST OF IT FROM WWW.Yu-Gi-Oh.NET/HISTORY[NOT WITH CAPS.] !!<>_<>!!

Japanese music
In Japan they have many bands. They consist of folk, country, death metal,J-Pop,rock and many others. Many of Japan's rockstars are not fameous here,but if you think about it, we are probably not fameous over there, either!!!
Yesterday in geography I looked up Japanese sports.
One thing I found interesting in my research was sumo wrestling. It is a national sport.It has been going on for over 1,000 years! It is used to give thanks for the year's harvest. And last the sumo wrestlers are extremely fat!
I was looking up Japan’s cloths and there called Kimonos. Kimonos are made of silk. They are only worn on special occasions. Kimonos have very long sleeves. They go down to your ankles. Kimonos limit your movement.
Japanese people usually ware regular clothes like you and me .
HI! I'm going to tell you about Pearl Harbor. The date of Pearl Harbor was Decmber17,1941.

J Oberholtzer I really like how you found Japan's sports they like to play...
from R Griff
Enviromental pollution has been around since the Meiji period with copper poisoning. This was because of the drainage of the Ashio Copper Mine around 1878. As
Japan modernized enviromental problem increased. Some of the problems were things such as air & water pollution. A conference for the prevention of global warming was held in Kyoto in 1997. Japan
has lessened the amount of waste it produces & recycles used prod-ucts. Along with taking care of its own country, Japan helps other
countries too. I think Japan is a good example of what it takes to take care of the our planet for decades to come.
I learned about Japans diferent kinds of sports. One was Yabusame. yabusame is a traditional sport in Japan. Yabusame is a ceremony when archers shoot at three targets as they race on horseback. Until the middle ages shooting arrows while riding on a horse a full speed was an important skill for warriors. Yabusame began as a form of military training combining horsemanship and archery. Now it is a very popular sport.
I looked up japan schools.I have learned that school there starts at 1st grade and graduate at grade 16.
I like yours its nice.
Tourism in Japan is a vital part of economy. They have a Disney land in Tokyo. Also they have the Tokyo Tower. High school students may go to Okinawa or Hakaido. An extensive system with domestic flights They also have temples that hold Buddhist objects. Sacred Buddhist objects are things like statues which would be held in the Main Hall.
tourism is a major part of the economy They also have a Disney in Tokyo THey also have the Tokyo Tower in Tokyo. They also have temples The Main Hall in a temple holds statues of Buddhist worship.
In geography class I looked up Ichiro Suzuki. he was brn in Toyoyama, Nishikasugi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan on October 22, 1973. He plays as an outfielder for the Seattle Mariners who got him from the Orix Blue Waves. He made his MLB debut in April of 2001. He was the the first MLB player to make it in the Golden Players Club. In 2001 he led the league in steals and batting average. In 2004 he broke a single season MLB record with 262 hits and won a Golden Glove. In 2007 he was the MVP of the All Star Game. In conclusion Ichiro is a great Japanese baseball player.
