Explanation

In Japanese, 'shima' (or 'jima' when used as a suffix) means 'island.' This appears in many Japanese place names like Hiroshima, Nagashima, and the Izu Islands. Japan is an archipelago of over 14,000 islands, so this geographical feature is fundamental to the country's identity and language.
