Japan is an island country located in East Asia with a population around half of the United States but in an area about 90% the size of California. The Japanese language is the primary language spoken and it is part of the Japonic language family. Traditional Japanese arts like flower arrangement, festivals, and musical instruments are an important part of the culture. Foods such as sushi, ramen, and shabu-shabu are widely consumed. The kimono is a traditional Japanese garment worn by men, women and children.
