Wa (Japan)
Izgled
Japanski Wa (倭? "Japan, Japanski", od kineskog Wō 倭, Hangul Wae 왜) je najstarije zabilježeno ime za Japan. Kineski, korejski i kineski pisci su redovno navodili Wa ili Yamato "Japan" sa kineskim slovom 倭 sve do 8. vijeka, kada se Japancima to prestalo sviđati, pa su ga zamijenili sa slovom 和 "harmonija, mir, ravnoteža".
