In what way did Japan’s location serve both to protect and isolate it?

Japan is made up of a bunch of islands, so it is surrounded by water. This helped protect Japan from being invaded, like when the Mongols tried to attack but failed because of storms. But being an island also made it hard for other countries to visit or trade, so Japan was a little isolated. Because of that, they developed their own culture and way of life. Still, they did borrow some ideas from China and Korea, like writing and religion.

Discuss the Shinto religion and its beliefs.

Shinto is the main traditional religion in Japan. People who follow Shinto believe that spirits, called kami, live in nature, like in trees, rivers, and animals.

It’s an important part of Japanese culture and is still practiced today.
