JapanPrize

2008 (24th) Japan Prize The Japan Prize Preparatory Foundation was established on November 1, 1982, with the approval of the Prime Minister, for the purpose of establishing the Japan Prize as a prestigious international award in the fields of science and technology.
 The creation of the Japan Prize was motivated by the desire to "express Japan's gratitude to international society. "This plan was advocated in 1981 by Mr. Taro Nakayama, the then Director-General, the Prime Minister's Office of the Suzuki Cabinet, and supported with the fund donated by the late Mr. Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.
 The preparatory foundation was later renamed The Science and Technology Foundation of Japan on May 5, 1983, with its purpose and activities broadened to include the development and dissemination of ideas and information related to science and technology, in addition to the awarding of the Japan Prize.

I came to Japan about 17 years ago to see if I could learn another language. It took me about 6 years to become fluent.
I guess I'll go back to the USA someday.

Cannot find some living actual feeling and joy recently; when is long, and live, just just get into a rut, and a fresh feeling is lost. What heal my heart alone is because there is a Japanese midget Shiba (chi) spending together for three years now. It is really helped to this fellow!

  2. Pottery in Japan:

    • "The earliest known pottery comes from Japan, and is dated to about 10,500 BCE. China and Indo-China follow shortly afterwards." ((1995). "Past Worlds". The Times Atlas of Archeology. p. 100.)

    • "That end of the Ice Age was accompanied by the first of the two most decisive changes in Japanese history: the invention of pottery. In the usual experience of archaeologists, inventions flow from mainlands to islands, and small peripheral societies aren't supposed to contribute revolutionary advances to the rest of the world. It therefore astonished archaeologists to discover that the world's oldest known pottery was made in Japan 12,700 years ago." Diamond, Jared (June 1998), "Japanese Roots", Discover 19 (6).

    • "Japan, however, was the seat of the earliest known development of ceramics." (Cavalli-Sforza. The History and Geography of Human Genes. p. 249. ISBN 0-691-08750-4.)

    • Alternatively, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Timeline of Art History notes "Carbon-14 testing of the earliest known shards has yielded a production date of about 10,500 BCE, but because this date falls outside the known chronology of pottery development elsewhere in the world, such an early date is not generally accepted.""Japan, 8000–2000 BCE."
