 note = {This article takes the author’s 2001 book, A Geography of Islands: Small Island Insularity and extracts from it a series of generalisations in both physical and human geography as applied to islands. These quotations are then set against the small islands of Japan, testing my ‘contention that every island is impacted in some way by the range of insular constraints’. The islands considered are particularly those in Kagoshima Prefecture, using experience from the author’s tenure as Visiting Professor at the Kagoshima University Research Center for the Pacific Islands as well as readings. The results show that whilst Japan does not display the full range of island types, mostly the generalities of a book written before the author had had much experience of the Japanese island realm can be seen to be expressed in Japanese islands.},
