- T he islands of Japan stretch down the Asian mainland from latitude 45° to 25° - almost ex-actly the same as the American eastern seaboard. The distance from the tip of Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the far south is about the same as from Halifax to Miami. In winter, icebergs come down from the Barring Straits and the sea freezes in northern Hokkaido. In Okinawa the weather is still hot and balmy. The main island of Honshu has the sort of weather normal-ly associated with continental climates. Snow is not unusu-al in Tokyo in winter and uncomfortably hot conditions are the norm in summer. The history of Japan has similarities with northern Europe. Just as the northern Europeans derived much of their cul-ture from Rome so the Japanese took a lot of theirs from the Chinese. This shows in the written language. Japanese is totally different from Chi-nese. As a onsequence, Chi-nese characters have to be supplemented by a syllabary (sort of alphabet) when used to write Japanese. The result is a complicated mess that has become even messier with the use of the Roman alphabet in recent years. Witten Japanese is a language in itself and this is a major ob-stacle to reform. The Chinese characters often convey subtle meanings which cannot be expressed in words. Reading Japanese is (even for Japanese) a bit like doing a translation job.
