He then began to say that Kamchatka or Sakhalin was east of Japan. East is New Zealand, but to the east of New Zealand is Chukotka. "And there is only a 60 km of the Strait and everything, further the American continent. In this sense, the country of the morning sun is Russia," Putin summarized. The first to call Japan in the morning of the morning sun was the Chinese, for whom the sun was rising in the morning on the side where the Japanese islands were located.
The inhabitants of the islands very much liked this metaphor, and they began to call their country the phrase "Nippon" ("Nihon"), which can be translated as "the Motherland of the Sun" or "East". Geographically, this name is quite valid: Japan is the easiest country on the world map, and the Japanese meet the East earlier on the planet. Recall that in 2018, Japan refused to conclude a peace agreement with the Russian Federation to resolve a territorial dispute against Kuril Islands.
According to Putin, on the basis of this peace treaty, Russia and Japan "as friends will continue to resolve the controversial issues" and this would allegedly "make it easier to solve all problems" that Japan and Russia as the successor of the USSR could not solve 70 years. Focus also wrote that in Japan began to nail Putin's face in temples to impose a curse on him. After 10 dolls found, police claim that such a trend can cover other cities.
