Commentary：
九州 (
Hiragana: きゅうしゅう
Romaji: Kyu-u-syu-u) is one of the four main islands of the
Japanese archipelago and is located at the western end.
Kyuusyuu lies below 35 degrees north and it has been the gateway to the Asian continent from Japan.
The origin of its name comes from its complicated geography, having "nine provinces" in ancient times.
Many volcanic mountains give it the nickname 火の国 (
Hiragana: ひのくに
Romaji: Hi No Ku-ni), or "Fire country" in Japanese.
