Kimura last man born in the 19th century

Croatian writer Giancarlo Kravar: Japanese Jiroemon Kimura is the oldest man in the world and the last to be born in the 19th century. The world has come 19.april 1897th year, and over 116 years lived during the four emperors and as many as 61 governments from Masayoshi Matsukata to Shinzo Abe.78.2.65.78 (talk) 14:22, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, we have an article about him at Jiroemon Kimura. But he's not important enough to be included in the article about the country. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Qwyrxian, we get these quite a lot. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 12:14, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No mentioning of Mount Fuji?

I really think that the article should contain a list of notable sites, like eg. Mount Fuji (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Fuji). My preference would be to sort Mount Fuji or other geographic sites into the Geography section, but eg. purely historic sites elsewhere. 80.135.150.208 (talk) 10:51, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Year of Japan's Opening to the West

Would like to change the year mentioned (from 1853 to 1854) in the third paragraph to be more accurate as the year that Commodore Matthew C. Perry actually succeeded in opening Japan to the West (with the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854). Currently, the text reads "...which was only ended in 1853 when a United States fleet pressured Japan to open to the West." Cortikal (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
