Gold is a rare metal—likewise, Japan is a rare land,From its people and culture to its cuisine, religion, and more.All things Japanese are similar to yetDifferent from those of other nations. Japan is the world’s oldest nationWith an imperial history stretching more than 2,600 years.A place where the oldest traditionsAnd newest innovations exist side by side,And harmony is a cherished virtue.With too many shrines and temples to count, a country where Shinto,With its myriad of gods, as well as Buddhism co-exist in the people’s faith. The endless wars over religion in other parts of the world—what utter lunacy!More than ever,Now is the time to learn this sense of values from the Land of Gold,So that the world will know the importance of peace. 「黄金の国」 黄金の国ジパングマルコポーロは日本をそう紹介した西洋的視点から日出づる国は実に神秘に満ちた国だったのだろう 黄金とは稀なる金属すなわち日本は稀なる国なのだ民族性、文化、食、宗教観等々日本的といわれるあらゆるものが諸外国とは似て非なるもの 天皇を中心に2600年以上の歴史を刻む世界最古の国、それが日本伝統的なものと先進性が共存する国和をもって尊しとする調和の国全国に数えきれない程の神社仏閣があり八百万の神々と仏が共存する信仰の国 宗教的価値観で戦争が絶えない国々よ！それが、どれほどの愚行であるか今こそ黄金の国の価値観を学ぶとき世界は和の重要性を知る
