>>120542549Kinda sorta. Anon said it was a literal translation. And if you take the literal translations of the characters that make Nihon(Riben in Chinese), you get "Sun" and "Book" since 'ben' is the counting word used for books.
Yes it's deeper meaning can be origin or base, but this is taking the literal translation. It's why that chart has Britain France, and Germany as 'Brave land', 'Lae-land', and 'Moral-land' respectively when the actual translation Ying-guo, actually means "Land of the English", Faguo as "Land of the Frech", Deguo as "Land of the Deutsch" etc.
