Japan is an island country in East Asia. The capital is Tokyo. The population is about 127,288,000 habitants. There is no
official languages in Japan, but there are some recognised regional languages
(Aynu itak, Ryukyuan languages, Eastern Japanese, Western Japanese and several
other Japanese dialects). Japan is often
called the "Land of the Rising Sun". In Japanese the name of this
country sounds like Nippon or Nihon. The Japanese archipelago, or chain of islands,
consists of 6,852 islands. More than 70% of
Japan consists of mountains, including more than 200 volcanoes. On average
there are around 1,500 earthquakes every year in Japan. This ancient country has been
inhabited since 30,000 B.C. Japan is a mixture of ancient culture and modern civilization.
My wonderful
friend Kar from Hong Kong visited Japan. The postcard shows Tokyo, the Tokyo
Skytree Tower, a broadcasting, restaurant and observation tower, the highest
building in Tokyo. Besides, my friend is a cat-lover, so this postcard shows
her love to this building and to cats!
The anthem
is here:
The stamp is
dedicated to the International Letter-Writing Week. Letter Writing Week is the one-week period
that includes 9 October, the anniversary of the inauguration of the UPU.
Nowadays the Week is a yearly event in Thailand and Japan. UPU focuses more on
the International letter-writing competition for young people (established
1969) and World Post Day.
Thanks a lot
for the postcard, KarKar!
