Japan, Korea and China

Explanation:

    World famous thanks to its culture - from manga to video games - and its cuisine - from sushi to miso soup - and its history - from samurai to Pearl Harbor - Japan is, however, a highly influenced country by China.

    In fact, although almost 60% of modern Japanese vocabulary is of Chinese origin, few venture to say that Japanese and Mandarin have a common origin.

    And yet ... From origami to Chinese characters, the Japanese peninsula has received a lot of influence on the depth of Chinese civilization.

    Although the existence of native Japanese writing, known as kamiyo moji, has never been proven to date (this is an invitation to continue research ...) we cannot deny the introduction of Chinese into Japanese soil since the 4th century.

    Initially, classical Chinese was the language used, read and written by the most educated people of the peninsula. Rather, Chinese influence left its mark on Japan predominantly in the sixth century, during the Asuka and Nara periods, to end in the twelfth century under Heian.

    This presence in the land of the rising sun marked the Japanese language, as its calligraphy contains characters created by the Chinese, still today in "activity" in Japan.

    Called Kanji, the Chinese characters in the Japanese version are associated with two syllable writing systems, called hiragana and katakana, and serve, respectively, for grammatical words and the transcription of some foreign words.

    Often regarded as a country that synthesizes in an original way continental and oriental contributions to its culture, Japan still remains inseparable from China.

    However, in order to distance itself from its obsolete (for some) roots that could harm the country, Japan, in the 19th century (was the beginning of its quest for modernity), tried to separate (in vain) the Chinese characters .

    A subject that is still controversial in the country of karate, despite the good intentions of the fervent informal critics of Chinese characters in Japan, the practical interest of such action - especially the lack of creation of a new alphabet - has yet to be proved.
