The Sun's Land (Japanese: 太陽の故郷), commonly referred to as Japanese Columbia (日本のコロンビア) or Japanese Kosuto (日本のコスト; Japanese cost) was a colony and territory of the First Japanese Empire, established by the Tokugawa Empire of Japan during the conquests of Columbia. It was located in western Columbia in what is now Kosuto, a state in the United States of Columbia. Its capital was New Edo, which served as an important trading town between other colonies and territories in Columbia and, to an extent, Muqaddas. It served as one of Japan's only colonies settled in the New World.
For most of its history, the Sun's Land served as an important trading post for Japan and other European colonies until the early 18th century when Japan's economy started to weaken and came under threat by other nations that gained independence from European powers. The Mexican Empire, who viewed the colony as a rich port that could give the empire more resources, would start an invasion towards the colony that began in 1814, starting the two-year long Mexican-Japanese War. The war ended on 1817 when the Mexicans captured New Edo, causing Japan to lose its only colony and territory in Columbia.
The colony has been characterized as exploitative and aggressive towards native Columbian populations, which included the stealing of resources such as minerals and mass killings and slavery of the native populations. Nonetheless, it was one of the richest colonies in Columbia and would help establish new relations with other western powers. Some elements of the colonial era, such as buildings, are still standing until this day in what is now Kosuto.
