Japanese government & public domain:

Japan does not share the same laws or spirit as the US regarding public domain content. The Japanese government has many websites with great articles on Japanese culture, history, travel, etc. Don't use content from these sites without prior permission. You will likely find these entities guard their content carefully and will not allow for any reuse.
