Japan
Hi my name is Emilio.My feature article is about Japan. Did you know Nippon means sun origin?. If
you want to know more about Japan, read my feature article.
Clothing and Houses
In Japan if you live in the city
your house will probably be an
apartment i a really high
building. If you live far away
from the city you’ll usually live
in a ranch style house! For
clothing men now wear suits.
Women either wear suits or just
normal cloths. In ancient Japan
women would wear Kimonos
and men would wear men styled
Kimonos. Now a days women
and girls only wear Kimonos on
special occasions.
Food and School
Japanese food is well known all
over the world such as
sushi,teriyaki,chicken and tempura
and sashimi. I totally love sushi
and tempura. School is extremely
hard in Japan. A lot of kids have to
go to juku because school in Japan
is very hard. Juku is basically like
detention except much harder.
Accent Work and Economy
In accent Japan the economy level of work is very
important.The lowest level of economy is a farmer. In ancient Japan
the farmers would plow the fields and were very poor. Not many
people caned about them and a lot people thought they were useless
to the economy. In real life I think the farmers were very important
because they had the biggest supply of food to sell in all of Japan.
Next is Merchants.
!
A merchant is a person that brings goods from one place to
the other like the farmers many people in Japan did not like the
farmers many people in Japan did not really appreciate the
merchants but they do appreciate the goods that they bring. I think
this is very unfair because you should judge someone by there
character and not there family or life they were born into it. After
the merchant comes the scholar. The scholars are very expected and
educated people. They are the people that would write all the
writing that now might have been discovered about ancient Japan.

Next in line are the samurai and magistrate. The
samurai are very respected people but most samurai are very
mean to people and sometimes even cut there heads off for
just the fun of it. Magistrates are usually a higher classed
samurai that roll over one specific part of the Japanese land.
Magistrates also solve court cases. The bad thing is that most
magistrates use to torture to make people confess to crimes
even though they might not be the real criminal. The last but
most important is the shogun. Think of it like this, the shogun
is like the Japanese king or emperor or something like that.
!
He also is the one that makes all the important or
hardest decisions that have to do with the land or economy.
I have to say that that’s the end of my feature article. And also, if you’ve read up to here,
thanks for reading.
