[edit] 9 provinces

What are the names of the "nine (九) provinces (州)"? --Menchi 10:00, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Buzen, Bungo, Chikuzen, Chikugo, Hizen, Higo, Hyuga, Osumi and Satsuma. See old provinces of Japan. --Nanshu 23:08, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Why were the nine provinces abolished? (geography project)15:00 GMT 24 June 2004

As a part of the reorganization of Japan under Meiji. - Nik42 22:00, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace of Japanese civilization?

It is considered the birthplace of Japanese civilization. - isn't the Nara area?

That is one of very famous controversies in Japanese history. We should have an article about this topic. -- Taku 02:57, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

Interesting. What arguments are there for considering Kyushu the birthplace of Japanese civilization? I was under the impression that it was historically rather isolated, and that all the archeological remains are around Kansai and Nara specifically Nik42 07:35, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kyushu or Kyūshū?

I have no idea whether you should spell Kyushu like Kyushu or in Romaji, like Kyūshū. Just a thought. -SilverBulletx3_chatteh^contribs 19:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at WP:MOS-JP. Kyūshū seems to be the consensus for use on Wikipedia. Bobo12345 12:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
