History of mt
Kamoi Kakoshi was founded in 1923. It started specialised on the manufacturing of masking tape out of traditional “Washi paper”. Kamoi Kakoshi soon became well-known for its masking tape as it can be removed easily without leaving any traces.

Hawaiians should have rights to their own land and not let foreigners disrupt their daily habits and life. If a foreigner takes allegiance to Hawai’i they not only have the accessibility of a citizen but also the perks that go with citizenship. Foreigners would be able to marry the women of Hawai’i while they have wives back home in their previous motherland. Foreigners that are aiding to Hawai’i can stay as aliens and be just as effective. There is no need for them to gain citizenship and take an oath of allegiance for their help. If a foreigner wants a piece a land all he needs to do is take an oath of allegiance and he is able to have a piece of land. If too many foreigners enter Hawai’i, their culture will take over. The majority will consist of the foreigners and their government will take over. Too many foreigners will cause much more damage to the native Hawaiian population. The number of full Hawaiians will decrease if foreigners continue to enter the island of Hawai’i.

The story, The Ghost in Tokaido Inn By Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler, is about a 14 year old boy boy named Seikei that lives in Japan around 1730. At the time Emperor Nakamikado was in rule and ruled from the city of Kyoto. In 1603 Ieyasu Tokugawa had defeated Japanese rivals and Tokugawa earned the right to have his descendants became Shogun, or military general. The shogun ruled from the city of Edo. Between the cities stretched the world busiest highway, the Tokaido road.
Even though his desire to continue working with his passion on lettering, he also had a desire to obtain money. By doing so, he set himself on the path of learning the fascinating techniques of japanned ware. Japanned ware was an early form of coating or decorating metallic or hard objects with enamel. Around 1740, Baskerville sets up his japanning business on Moor Street, Bull Ring. He hand painted fruits and flowers on the objects (which included frames, clock cases, tea trays, candlesticks, and boxes), then he used a glassy substance (usually varnish) to coat the objects with finishing touches, usually for ornament and as a protective coating.
In the film Kokoda, the Japanese were illustrated unjustifiably, and the film was biased as it did not explore the film from Japan's point of view, and thus was an unreliable historical source of Information. The film depicts the Japanese as ruthless, and their faces are hidden in the film. In the scene where Wilstead played by Ewen Leslie is bayoneted in the eye the by Japanese soldier, the Japanese has disguised his face and covered his body in a ghillie suit to camouflage himself. Although, this is historically inaccurate as in reality the Japanese soldiers actually look like the people in Figure 1. Therefore the soldiers in the film were clearly not interpreted as well as what they really were. This could be due to poor funding of the film
The late 19th century was a very different time for many living in Japan. The Tokugawa regime was leveling off, and the people of Japan who weren’t as wealthy had to find a balance between religious serenity and making money. The three most predominant religions of this era were Shinto, Confucianism and Buddhism, and an abundance of citizens living in Japan were often rooted very heavily in their religious backgrounds solely because these religious were seen more as ways of life than a religious practice. However, even the most devout of worshipers don’t always start off that way. In Katsu Kokichi’s book Musui’s Story: The Autobiography of a Tokugawa Samurai, Kokichi begins his life as a down and out Samurai, adopted by the Katsu family at
During 1185-1868 the samurai were in control of of a lot of land started to over power the ninja. But before the samurai it was a lot more peaceful than the samurai but not as much. When farmers weren't able to share land with other farmers for crops the would usually have a fight or duel of such kind. Farmers would usually use a kama for a fighting. The Kama was meant to be used as a farming tool to cut grass or to cut crops. The kama has been evolved from a Jangama similar to a sickle. The Kama was usually made out of bamboo and thick yarn.
Japan’s government had gone through many policy reforms, but by late 1938 reformists, also known as radicals or left-wing’s, and conservatives, also known as right-wing’s, clashed over the creation of a new mobilization plan. Both parties wanted to obtain control over the lower house in government in order to influence new policies. Fumimaro Konoe, Prime Minister of Japan at the time, believed that the war with China needed national harmony instead of elite conflicts. Konoe’s successor, Hiranuma Kiichirō, shared his view on national harmony. Hiranuma’s main focus was deciding whether or not Japan should ally itself with Germany and Italy. The Hiranuma cabinet agreed that the pact might neutralize Soviet power, but before the pact was made Germany

The inventor, Richard Drew, grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. After dropping out of college, he miraculously obtained a job, working for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company or more commonly known as 3M. Drew was hired to take trial products to auto shops around the city. A prevalent problem that auto shop workers faced when painting cars in the 1920s was the residue of the tape that was left after tearing the tape off. Drew, wanting to solve the problem, decided to design a new type of tape that would not leave residue, or diminish the color of the paint job. After trying various techniques and different materials, he found his fix, and in 1925, 3M launched Richard Drew’s ...
