I'm curious to know, are swords considered illegal in Japan?

Excuse me, but I'm curious about something. I've noticed that different people seem to pronounce the name of the country "Japan" in slightly different ways. Could you perhaps enlighten me on the correct pronunciation of "Japan"? Is it "Jap-an" with a clear distinction between the two syllables, or is it more of a flowing "Jap-uhn" sound? I'm eager to learn the correct way to say it, so I can avoid any potential misunderstandings or mispronunciations in the future. Thank you in advance for your help.

Excuse me, could you please provide some clarification on the pricing of Shiba Inu dogs in Japan? Are you referring to the adoption fees at shelters or breeders, or perhaps the market value for purebred puppies? Additionally, does the cost vary depending on factors such as the dog's age, pedigree, and any specific training or certifications? I'm interested in getting a better understanding of the financial aspect involved in owning a Shiba Inu in Japan.
