EtymologyEdit
The Japanese word for the country of Japan is Nippon that literally means "the sun's origin", and is often translated as the Land of the Rising Sun. This nomenclature comes from Imperial correspondence with Chinese Sui Dynasty and refers to Japan's eastward position relative to China.
