What just happened? In a landmark decision that signals a new era of regulatory scrutiny for global technology giants, Japan's Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) has issued a cease-and-desist order against Google, accusing the company of violating the nation's anti-monopoly law by compelling smartphone manufacturers to preinstall its apps on Android devices.

Think China’s got it all sewn up when it comes to EVs? Well, at least when it comes to micro cars, Japan still has a few tricks up its sleeve—and the Nissan Sakura is the power player in the market. Japanese automakers have generally tackled the electric transition with all the speed of a turning oil tanker. Toyota has, for example, steadfastly held out largely in the hopes that its gamble on solid-state batteries will play out. Nissan on the other hand threw its hat early into the game with t

Two swords once carried by samurai have been found during excavations in Ichijodani, one of medieval Japan’s largest cities. On the outskirts of Fukui, a city of a quarter of a million people in central Japan, a handful of shops and restaurants, a smattering of homes, and a few rice fields line the Ichijo River as it snakes its way through a narrow valley protected on three sides by mountain ranges. Locals as well as tourists enjoy the valley’s scenic beauty, but on the surface there’s nothing

When Nintendo announced the Switch 2 would cost $450, my initial reaction was disappointment. “Why does it cost so much more?” I thought to myself. “Why does Japan get it cheaper?” my brain jealously added, once I learned that Nintendo would sell a Japan-only model for the equivalent of just $333. It felt like Nintendo was about to overcha

There's also the matter of the Shinkansen bullet train network, connecting riders to major cities across the cou

First posted September 15, 2005 Revised December 1, 2015 A puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January 1700. Samurai, merchants, and villagers wrote of minor flooding and damage. Some noted that no parent earthquake had been felt; they were wondering what had set off the waves. They had no way knowing that the tsunami had been spawned during an earthquake along the coast of northwestern North America. This orphan tsunami would not be linked to its parent earthquake until the middle 199

What is this texture, I wondered, and why did I like it so much? I don't want to be the sort of person who gushes about a new kind of plastic. But here I am holding a new luxury travel shaver from Panasonic, catching feelings about it. The white version of Panasonic's Arc 5 Palm, a compact shaver released in September in the US but much earlier in Japan, is made with a newly developed material called Nagori, made from the concentrated minerals of seawater—a common byproduct of desalination plan

After a monthslong hiatus, the One Piece anime will be returning in April. Before that point, its English dub will make its own return and hit an impressive milestone. When the dub episodes start airing the first part of the “Egghead” arc on March 18, it’ll have caught up to its Japanese counterpart. For plenty of anime, English-dubbed episodes air weeks (usually four or more) after the Japanese version, which can help extend a show’s presence just a little longer between seasons. In One Piece’
