BY EMILIO URIBE! FEBRUARY 13, 2014 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. ! PAGE 1
