This was highly significant in the historical process of the Japanese nation in that it marked the first instance of a nationally organized resistance against the contemporary ruling authority. As the prevailing clamor for liberty and popular rights was organized into a vast movement on a national scale embracing all classes of the people, it marked· a significant development for it was intrinsically distinguishable from the sporadic farmers' rebellious uprisings which were often recorded during the ancien regime, and, seen in this light, the movement for liberty and popular rights would well be de fined as a democratic revolutionary movement.

Despite ranking only 61st in the world in terms of land area (380,000 km2), Japan’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone combined are 12 times larger (4,470,000 km2) than its land area.

The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences
The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences ISHIMARU Yasuzo Introduction When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, Japan had been under the occupation of the Allied Forces. Nevertheless, Japan achieved its role as a rear base for the supply and transit of soldiers and materials. What linked the Korean Peninsula—the battlefield—and Japan—the rear base—were the sea and air transport routes, and what supported the sea transport routes were the Japanese ports. These ports in fact constituted important hubs connecting the battlefield and the rear base. During the same period, new laws pertaining to ports were established. These were the Port and Harbor Law (Law No. 218 of 1950) and the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law (Law No. 220 of 1950). The Port and Harbor Law established on the principle that the ports should be managed by local administration.1 Meanwhile, the aim of the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law was to establish a peaceful Japan by converting the former naval bases2 into industrial port cities. Therefore, right when Japanese ports were changing to new ports, the nation was thrown into the Korean War, which set back their efforts. The Korean War had a decisive influence on the path of post-war Japan,3 which prompted studies on its political and economic influences, its history, and on the rearmament of Japan. However, although some literature exists on Japan’s support to the Korean War,4 no studies have ever tried to focus on ports. This article discusses the role Japanese ports played during the Korean War and how they were affected by the war.

Setonaikai National Park Was Established in 1934 As One of the First National Parks in Japan
An inland archipelago and year-round shimmering Setonaikai seascape where people and nature live as one 16 Setonaikai National Park was established in 1934 as one of the first national parks in Japan. The national park is surrounded National Park by the five straits of Kitan, Naruto, Kanmon, Hoyo and Akashi. The park extends over 11 prefectures and covers some 900,000 hectares including the sea area, making it the largest national park in the country. The main feature of the national park is its archipelagic landscape formed by countless islands of all sizes. The Seto Inland Sea can be broadly divided into four regions: from the east, the Awaji Island region, Bisan-seto region, Geiyo Islands region, and Suonada region. The national parkʼs landscape has a complex structure consisting of relatively large sea areas known as nada, “open sea” or wan, “bay” and narrow channels known as seto or kaikyo, which both translate as “strait”. The inland sea, which is separated from the open ocean, is characterized by signifi cant tidal variation and is known for its fast currents. Culture has fl ourished in the Seto Inland Sea region since ancient times and a major feature of the region is its open, friendly local environment that integrates human life as part of the landscape in the form of terraced fields, fishing towns waiting for favorable tides, and many other scenic points. Since ancient times, the region has prospered as a major domestic and international port for sea traffic, including kitamaebune cargo ships that sailed the Japan Sea during the Edo period (1603-1868), and when Korean delegations to Japan visited the region.
