👉 Inuyama, Aichi in the context of Treaty of Portsmouth

The Treaty of Portsmouth is a treaty that formally ended the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War. It was signed on September 5, 1905, after negotiations from August 6 to 30, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, United States. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was instrumental in the negotiations and won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts, the first ever American recipient. The treaty recognized Japan's hegemony in Korea (which soon after became a protectorate of the Empire of Japan), awarded it Russia's lease on the Liaodong Peninsula (which became the Kwantung Leased Territory), control of the Russian-built South Manchuria Railway, and the southern half of the island of Sakhalin (Karafuto).

Inuyama, Aichi in the context of Meiji-mura

Meiji-mura (博物館明治村, Hakubutsukan Meiji-mura; "Meiji Village Museum") is an open-air architectural museum/theme park in Inuyama, near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. It was opened on March 18, 1965. The museum preserves historic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867–1912), Taishō (1912–1926), and early Shōwa (1926–1945) periods. Over 60 historical buildings have been moved and reconstructed onto 1 square kilometre (250 acres) of rolling hills alongside Lake Iruka. The most noteworthy building there is the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Imperial Hotel, which originally stood in Tokyo from 1923 to 1967, when the main structure was demolished to make way for a new, larger version of the hotel.

Inuyama, Aichi in the context of Owari Hills

The Owari Hills (尾張丘陵, Owari Kyūryō) are a set of hills located in the mid-western part of Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Centuries ago, this area made up the eastern portion of the Owari Domain.

The northern section of the hills rises about 200 m (656 ft) above sea level. From there, the hills stretch from the city of Inuyama on the southern banks of the Kiso River to the southeast, going through the communities of Komaki and Kasugai, then continuing to the southwest until Mount Sanage along the border between Toyota and Seto. From there, the hills continue in a south westerly direction before finishing on the Chita Peninsula.
