Japan — An Island Kingdom with Many Different Facets

Ulrike Maria Haak and René Haak

Chapter 2 in Market Entry in Japan, 2008, pp 17-26 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract According to Japanese legend, the Japanese islands were formed from the tears of a goddess which fell into the Pacific, resulting in a loosely spaced group of islands in the wide expanse of the ocean. The Japanese archipelago ranges from the tiny sub-tropical islands in the China Sea, of which the best known is Okinawa, up to the northerly cold island Hokkaido with its winter ice festival. Geologically, Japan was created from the huge movements of tectonic plates and volcanic activity which has continued uninterrupted to the present day.
