Check out the link! 13th Century Mongol Shipwreck Discovered off Japanese Coast t.co/uTgst52AODQuote:It was the largest armada the world had ever seen, and would only be surpassed 700 years later when the Allies invaded Europe during the Normandy landings. The Mongol leader Kublai Khan sent two massive fleets during the 13th Century – of up to 4,000 ships each – to try to invade Japan. Both attempts were thwarted and destroyed by severe weather, with the ships and the men they carried laid to rest off the coast of Japan. Now, researchers think that they’ve discovered the wreck of one of the ships, the second to be discovered in four years, and have potentially found three more. All finds date to the two attempted invasions by the Mongols launched in 1274 and 1281, both of which were destroyed by typhoons that the Japanese called “kamikazes,” or divine winds, that saved the country from the foreign army. … [Kublai Khan’s] ideas of world domination didn’t, however, stop with the mainland. Mobilizing over 140,000 troops, he launched two armadas to capture Japan, both of which ended in disaster. The researchers think that they’ve managed to find wrecks from both of these failed attempts. The first, found in 2011, is resting 200 meters off the coast of Takashima Island, but the latest discovery has been found in a bay close to the city of Matsuura on Kyushu island. It’s thought that the fleet must have anchored in the bay to shelter from the raging typhoon before it sank. Thanks to: Theslo of Qualon cf. Neat Pictures: added more! [adultish]

From: Epic of Aerth Addenda, by Gregg Timm. Nippon (pg. 142) Nippon has an organized thieves’ guild known as the yakuza (treat as Physical vocation Thieves), and assassins known as ninja (“shadow warriors”, with a penchant for weapons such as shuriken, ninja-to (recent sword based off of chokuto), manrikigusari [weighted chain], nunchakus, and toxins). Ninjas may be given a +5 bonus to PNCap. The warrior-caste of the samurai is similar to the knights of Æropa and follows a code of behavior called bushido. Samurai should receive a bonus +5 to PN Cap and +5 to PN Spd, as well as a +5 to Combat, Hand Weapon, One-handed sword (katana) K/S. Samurai who lose their master or become mercenaries are known as ronin. An extremely able swordsman who is not necessarily a samurai is referred to as a kensei and these should be given a +10 to the Combat, Hand Weapon, One-handed sword K/S. The kuge is the noble class, the heimin are the commoners, the chori are the outcasts, and the hinin are the beggars. Foreigners are somewhat disdainfully referred to as gaijin. Many forms of martial arts are practiced in this nation, including karate and kempo (emphasizing hand and foot strikes) and jiu-jitsu and aikido (emphasizing throws, holds and locks). Sword strategy is referred to as kendo, and that of the staff as bojitsu.

Jomon Sugi"This tree is located in Yakushima, Japan. It is actually the oldest and largest cryptomeria tree on the island. In fact, this tree is one of many reasons why the island had been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tree is dated back to about 2,000 years old, but some of the experts think it could be much older than that." ( 1)
