How would you describe Japan? GaijinPot asked readers to describe the land of the rising sun in just two words — and more than 1,100 people responded in less than two days. The short replies were declarations of love, bursts of cleverness and almost a form of therapy for some.

These 20 responses reflect the wide range of concepts — thoughtfulness, joy, intensity and in some cases even disdain — conveyed by readers. Feel free to smash that vote button if you agree, or submit your own two words below if you don’t like what you see.
