Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Land of the Rising Sun The Japanese Archipelago or Dai-Nippon (Nihon) stretches like three garlands of a vine along the coasts of Siberia and northern China. Containing formerly more than 3,800 islands, the largest of which are Yezo or Hokaido, Hondo or Nippon, Shikoku, Oki, Loochoo and Formosa, the Japanese Empire covers an area of 161,119 square miles, with a population of 46,540,754. The Japanese group of islands probably formed a part of the mainland of Asia, as shown by the fact that the coasts toward Asia slope with a slight, almost imperceptible, incline to the mainland, while the Pacific coast sinks abruptly to a great depth. The soundings of the Japanese Sea do not exceed 3,500 meters at its greatest depths, and the outline configuration of the islands stretching like stepping-stones from Japan to Korea tend to confirm the supposition of the former connection of Japan with the mainland, while the depth on the east coast of Japan reaches 8,515 meters (the height of the Himalayas).
