In most of Japanese world maps, "japan" island is located at the center of maps.
As a result, central area of map is occupied by the large sea "patific".
The United State is in most east side, and E.U is in most west side.
Therefore, For japanese it is hard to understand that "Asia" (include Japan) is called as "Orient" and U.S.A is called as "Western".
