484 EAST ASIA. The vast and fertile plain of Kioto, which amongst other produce yields the best tea in the kingdom, contains a number of other towns, which depend for their trade and industries on the capital. Thus Fusimi, which might be regarded as a suburb of Kioto, is its chief port on the Udzi-gava, now regularly navigated by steamers. Another outlet of its trade is the port of Yodo, lying lower down at the confluence of the Kitzu, the Udzi, and the Kamo, whose joint streams form the Yodo-gava, or " Sluggish River." The Kitzu, which here unites with the emissary from Lake Biva, flows by Nara, one of the oldest cities in Japan, and amongst the earliest imperial residences. Here are some magnificent sacred groves, and especially a park, in- Fig. 202. LAKE BIVA. Scale 1 : 320,000. . 6 Miles. habited for a thousand years by herds of tame deer, whose antlers are worked into all kinds of little fancy objects, which are regarded as sacred. Here also is the sumptuous temple containing the Dai Butz, a bronze statue over 50 feet high, and weighing 450 tons. It is one of the largest and oldest in Japan, dating from the eighth century. Kasiva-bava, one of the suburbs of Nara, is the ancient Asivara, capital of the Kingdom of Zinmu Tenno, founder of the dynasty of the Mikados. From the name of this place, Nip-pon was long known as Asivara, the " Valley of the Pliant Reeds." Not far from Nara is Kori-yama, another city of some importance. Kioto is connected by rail with its sea-port of Ohosaka, which, like the two

From its geographical situation Ohosaka was naturally destined to acquire a com- manding position amongst the cities of the Empire. A general survey of the Japanese Archipelago shows at a glance that the most favoured region is the coast Fig. 203. OHOSAKA.

The west side, facing the inhospi- table shores of Manchuria, is exposed to cold winds and a heavy surf. The eastern sea-board is again turned towards the boundless wastes of the Pacific Ocean. On the other hand, vessels from China must have first reached the southern shores, which enjoy the three-fold advantage of a genial climate, good harbours, and
