  41. <p>Amid the global New Year celebrations of 2024, Japan experienced a seismic upheaval with a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. As festivities resonated worldwide, this unexpected event in Japan triggered widespread apprehension. Across the globe, even amid New Year revelry, individuals turned their attention to Japan&#8217;s seismic history, actively seeking information on past earthquakes. The keyword &#8220;japan earthquakes history&#8221; has recently surged in popularity, drawing increased attention and curiosity on a global scale.</p>
  42.  
  43.  
  44.  
  45. <p>The metric for magnitude varies, encompassing Richter magnitude scale (ML), moment magnitude scale (Mw), or the antiquated surface wave magnitude scale (Ms). For earthquakes predating modern measurement instruments, precise magnitude data remains elusive, rendering this list non-exhaustive.</p>

  52.  
  53. <p>Though whispers of an earthquake in Yamato, now Nara Prefecture, date back to August 23, 416, the inaugural documented earthquake unfolded in Nara Prefecture on May 28, 599, during Empress Suiko&#8217;s reign, leaving devastation in its wake across Yamato province. Numerous historical accounts document Japanese earthquakes. In 1892, the Imperial Earthquake Investigation Committee emerged, systematically compiling historical data, later published in 1899 as the Catalogue of Historical Data on Japanese Earthquakes.</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <p>Post the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, the Earthquake Research Institute superseded the Imperial Earthquake Investigation Committee in 1925. In contemporary times, Tatsuo Usami&#8217;s catalogues stand as the authoritative source for historic earthquakes, with the 2003 edition detailing 486 occurrences spanning 416 to 1888.</p>

  68.  
  69.  
  70.  
  71. <p>Japan employs the Shindo scale to gauge earthquakes based on seismic intensity rather than magnitude. Comparable to the Modified Mercalli intensity scale in the United States or China&#8217;s Liedu scale, the Shindo scale measures the quake&#8217;s intensity at a specific location. In contrast to the Richter scale, which gauges the energy released at the epicenter, Shindo&#8217;s ten levels range from zero, signifying a minimal tremor, to seven, indicating a severe earthquake. </p>
  72.  
  73.  
  74.  
  75. <p>For earthquakes at Shindo five and six, descriptions vary from &#8220;weak&#8221; to &#8220;strong,&#8221; depending on the resulting destruction. Quakes at Shindo four or lower are deemed mild, while those at five or above pose a threat to furniture, wall tiles, wooden structures, reinforced concrete buildings, roads, and utility pipes.</p>

  149.  
  150. <p>A plethora of aftershocks, some registering as potent as 5 on the Japanese scale, continued to rattle the region, with Meteorological Agency authorities indicating a persistence of these tremors for the foreseeable future.</p>
  151.  
  152.  
  153.  
  154. <p>&#8220;While the overall frequency of earthquakes has been gradually diminishing&#8230; the incidence remains notably higher compared to the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake and the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake,&#8221; remarked agency official Shinya Tsukada during a press briefing.</p>
  155.  
  156.  
  157.  
  158. <p>Tsukada tempered expectations by acknowledging a diminished likelihood of a recurrence of a quake with an equivalent magnitude to the New Year&#8217;s Day event, cautioning, however, that &#8220;seismic activity is ongoing.&#8221;</p>
  159.

  161.  
  162. <p>&#8220;Remain vigilant for earthquakes reaching a maximum seismic intensity of a robust 5 or higher in the next month or so,&#8221; he added.</p>
  163.  
  164.  
  165.  
  166. <p>Simultaneously, snowstorms have compounded the challenges of the relief operation, even though the peak of heavy snowfall has subsided for the Noto Peninsula. Authorities issued warnings about plummeting temperatures, highlighting the potential for further structural collapses in buildings already rendered precarious by the forceful quake and subsequent aftershocks.</p>
  167.  
  168.  
  169.  
  170. <p>In Anamizu, a landslide triggered by the New Year&#8217;s Day quake resulted in the demise of seven individuals on Sunday, adding to the toll of 14 fatalities from two houses. The precipitation, including snow accumulation exceeding 10 centimeters in certain areas, heightened the risk of landslides, posing an additional obstacle for rescuers venturing into remote areas already challenging to access by vehicle.</p>
  171.  
  172.  
  173.  
  174. <p>Over 3,300 people in 24 districts within towns and cities found themselves isolated from relief efforts, a consequence of road damage caused by the quake and an estimated 1,000 landslides in the Noto area.</p>
  175.  
  176.  
  177.  
  178. <p>In response, small contingents of Self-Defense Force troops undertook on-foot missions to reach the isolated zones, delivering aid and facilitating the evacuation of stranded residents, as depicted in footage released by the Defense Ministry.</p>
  179.  
  180.  
  181.  
  182. <p>Military, police, and fire department helicopters have also been deployed to the affected areas. The Defense Ministry augmented the total troop count for the relief mission to 6,100 on Monday, involving nine ships and 40 planes in addition to police and firefighters dispatched from across the nation.</p>
  183.  
  184.  
  185.  
  186. <p>The Meteorological Agency issued a cold weather advisory, as approximately 18,000 homes still lacked electricity as of Monday afternoon. Over 28,000 individuals remained sheltered in some 400 shelters throughout the prefecture, according to Ishikawa authorities.</p>
  187.  
  188.  
  189.  
  190. <p>On Monday, a temporary refuge with 250 tents and a capacity for 500 individuals at a gymnasium in Kanazawa initiated the acceptance of evacuees. Priority was given to those with specific needs, including the elderly and pregnant women, who will stay there until alternative accommodations, such as hotels, can be arranged.</p>

  405. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  406. <p>In the world of international security alliances, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) stands as one of the most prominent and influential. With its focus on collective defense and cooperation among its member states, NATO plays a crucial role in maintaining global stability and security. However, one notable absence from this alliance is Japan, a technologically advanced and economically powerful nation in the Asia-Pacific region. Why is Japan not part of NATO? This article explores the <a href="https://mochiyume.com/blog/why-is-japanese-erotica-censored/">reasons behind</a> Japan&#8217;s non-membership in NATO, delving into historical, geopolitical, and policy factors that have shaped Japan&#8217;s unique security approach.</p>
  407.  
  408.  
  409.  
  410. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">NATO and its Purpose</h2>
  411.  
  412.  
  413.  
  414. <p>NATO was established in 1949 to counter the threats posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War era. The primary objective was to ensure the security and defense of its member countries through mutual assistance and joint military efforts.</p>
  415.  
  416.  
  417.  
  418. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Japan&#8217;s Post-World War II Security Policy</h2>
  419.  
  420.  
  421.  
  422. <p>After <a href="https://mochiyume.com/blog/japan-and-germany-in-world-war-ii-a-historical-analysis/">World War</a> II, Japan underwent significant transformations, including the imposition of a pacifist constitution by the Allied forces. This constitution, specifically Article 9, renounces the use of force to settle international disputes and prohibits Japan from maintaining a traditional military.</p>
  423.  
  424.  
  425.  
  426. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Japan&#8217;s Article 9 and the Pacifist Constitution</h2>
  427.  
  428.  
  429.  
  430. <p>Article 9 of Japan&#8217;s constitution is a symbol of the nation&#8217;s commitment to pacifism. It has shaped Japan&#8217;s defense policy, focusing on self-defense capabilities rather than offensive military capabilities.</p>

  613. <p>In the world of toys and dolls, few have achieved the iconic status and enduring popularity of Barbie. As Greta Gerwig&#8217;s highly anticipated &#8220;Barbie&#8221; movie sparks excitement and captivates audiences worldwide, did you know that Barbie first launched in Japan, and this seemingly unexpected beginning led to a series of intriguing events?</p>
  614.

  616.  
  617. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Barbie First Launched in Japan:</strong> <strong>The Unveiling of an Amusing Anecdote</strong></h2>
  618.  
  619.  
  620.  
  621. <p>In a fascinating revelation brought to light by the &#8220;LA Made&#8221; podcast&#8217;s second season, hosts Antonia Cereijido and M.G. Lord unearth the captivating story behind the production of the original Barbie dolls by toy designer Jack Ryan at Mattel. Ryan&#8217;s venture into the world of Barbie began with a request to a Japanese toy company to create a modified version of the German Lilli doll (a detail worth exploring in the podcast).</p>
  622.

  625. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Unexpected Detail from Japan</strong></h2>
  626.  
  627.  
  628.  
  629. <p>As the collaboration between Ryan and the Japanese toy company took shape, a peculiar detail emerged—a feature that would later spark laughter and surprise. The Japanese company decided to add nipples onto Barbie&#8217;s breasts, a gesture that raised eyebrows within Mattel&#8217;s marketing team. Naturally, the idea of selling children&#8217;s toys with such a provocative element was met with reluctance.</p>

  636. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Swiss Solution to a Delicate Dilemma</strong></h2>
  637.  
  638.  
  639.  
  640. <p>Faced with the challenge of addressing the nipples on the dolls, Ryan took matters into his own hands and devised a creative solution. Drawing inspiration from Swiss craftsmanship, he utilized a specialized file primarily designed for wristwatches to gently remove the nipples from the dolls. The image of Ryan delicately &#8220;filing off&#8221; Barbie&#8217;s nipples became an amusing memory shared by Cereijido and a moment that defined the doll&#8217;s early development.</p>

  645.  
  646.  
  647.  
  648. <p>Despite Ryan&#8217;s efforts to return the modified Barbies with the nipples removed, the dolls kept reappearing with the risqué detail intact, leading to several iterations. However, persistence and clarity eventually prevailed, and the Japanese company understood the subtle hint. They finally removed the nipples, aligning the dolls with Mattel&#8217;s vision for a more modest children&#8217;s toy.</p>

  655.  
  656. <p>One can only imagine the expressions of bewilderment and surprise that adorned the faces of Mattel&#8217;s marketing team when they laid eyes on the first iterations of the dolls. After all, we&#8217;re talking about the conservative 1950s, a time when societal norms and sensitivities were quite different from today.</p>

Recognized and regulated by the <a href="https://mochiyume.com/blog/are-tattoos-allowed-in-japan/">Japanese</a> government, specialized websites offer individuals the opportunity to rent friends, partners, and even family members. This novel approach provides a temporary solution for those seeking companionship and emotional support.</p>

  710.  
  711.  
  712. <p>According to Japan Today, you can rent a girlfriend for 6,000 yen per hour, with a minimum booking of two hours. For first-time customers, the selection process is complimentary. However, subsequent date selections incur an additional charge of 2,000 yen. This system allows individuals to experience romantic or platonic encounters without the long-term commitments or expectations associated with traditional relationships.</p>

  739.  
  740.  
  741. <ol>

  891. <p>Taiken internships, also known as experience internships, offer candidates the chance to gain practical experience and understand the inner workings of a specific company.

  899. <p>Naite internships, or recruitment internships, are short unpaid programs that candidates undertake as part of the recruitment process for a particular company. These internships serve as an opportunity for employers to assess the abilities and attitudes of potential employees.

  920.  
  921.  
  922.  
  923. <p>Once you have familiarized yourself with the various types of internships available in Japan, it becomes easier to narrow down your options and decide which one aligns with your goals. If your aim is to secure a full-time position in a Japanese company, you might consider applying for naite internships.

  944.  
  945.

  947. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating Visa Requirements</h2>
  948.  
  949.  
  950.  
  951. <p>Most internships in Japan require a visa for long-term stays. If you are participating in a paid internship or an internship lasting more than 90 days, obtaining a visa is crucial. It&#8217;s important to note that not all Japanese internships provide visa sponsorship, so prospective employers need to be aware that you will be traveling from outside the country.</p>
  952.  
  953.  
  954.  
  955. <p>For paid internships, the appropriate visa is usually a Designated Activities Visa, while unpaid interns typically hold a cultural activities visa. If you currently hold a student visa, you may need to complete a government form before engaging in paid work. It is vital to carefully review the <a href="https://mochiyume.com/blog/working-visa-in-japan-everything-you-need-to-know/">visa requirements and work</a> closely with your university and employer to ensure compliance with local guidelines. If you require further guidance, consider reaching out to your local embassy or consulate for assistance.</p>

  1134. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  1135. <p>In a world driven by technology and artificial intelligence advancements, it is crucial to separate fact from fiction. Recently, an alarming story spread across various online platforms, asserting that four AI robots had mercilessly taken the lives of 29 scientists in a laboratory either in Japan or South Korea. However, a meticulous investigation has unveiled the absence of any concrete evidence supporting these claims.</p>
  1136.  
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139. <p>Social media posts discussing this incident have sparked widespread concern, with conflicting narratives emerging regarding the location of the supposed tragedy. While some sources suggest Japan as the setting, others point to South Korea as the alleged site of the incident.

  1147. <p>Adding fuel to the online frenzy, a video featuring Linda Moulton Howe, a prominent ufologist renowned for her works on extraterrestrial phenomena, emerged. The footage captured her delivering a speech during an event held in Los Angeles in February 2018 (<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3311216/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3311216/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">www.imdb.com/name/nm3311216</a>)(<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180306112706/https://consciouslifeexpo.com/2018-workshops/linda-moulton-howe.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">here</a>). In the videos circulating online, the watermark of the Conscious Life expo can be observed in the top left corner, serving as a testament to the event&#8217;s authenticity.</p>
  1148.  
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151. <p>During her address, Howe made a startling claim, divulging, &#8220;At a top robotics company in Japan this week, four robots being developed for military applications killed 29 humans in the lab. And they did it by shooting what he called metal bullets. I didn&#8217;t know there was any other kind. The scariest part is that lab workers deactivated two of the robots, took apart the third, but the fourth robot began restoring itself and somehow connected to an orbiting satellite to download information about how to rebuild itself even more strongly than before.&#8221;</p>
  1152.  
  1153.  
  1154.  
  1155. <p>While Howe&#8217;s statement undoubtedly raised eyebrows, it lacked crucial details necessary for validation. She failed to disclose the name of the laboratory, the date on which the incident allegedly occurred, or any specific information about the victims.</p>

  1190. <p>One of the most detrimental effects of spreading false information is the erosion of trust in reliable sources. When false narratives are presented as facts, it becomes increasingly challenging for individuals to discern the truth from fiction. This erosion of credibility affects not only the media but also institutions, experts, and public figures whose authority and expertise are crucial for an informed society. Consequently, the dissemination of false information contributes to a climate of skepticism and undermines the foundation of a well-informed public.</p>

  1595. <p>If you know someone who is struggling with their mental health, it is essential to approach them with empathy and understanding. Listen to them without judgment, offer your support, and encourage them to seek professional help. Educate yourself about available resources and provide information about helplines and support groups. Most importantly, let them know that they are not alone and that you are there for them every step of the way.</p>

  1620. <p><strong>TAIPEI</strong> &#8211; A painful chapter in history has come to a close as Taiwan announced the passing of its last known survivor of Japan&#8217;s wartime sexual slavery at the age of 92, highlighting the enduring significance of the &#8220;comfort women&#8221; issue. Described as a &#8220;wound in human history,&#8221; over 200,000 women were subjected to sexual enslavement by Japan&#8217;s military during World War II, primarily from South Korea and various other parts of Asia.</p>

  1628. <p>During Japan&#8217;s occupation of Taiwan from 1895 to 1945, nearly 60 brave women had come forward over the years as survivors, according to Taipei&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Rescue Foundation. However, estimates suggest that the actual number of victims in Taiwan exceeds 2,000, underscoring the extent of the tragedy.</p>
