Whats the origin of the name "Kusari" - Menkar - 12-17-2010

Why is Japan called "Kusari" in Freelancer?

All other houses arent a problem for me, but I'm not familiar with east-asian cultures to figure it out myself.

edit:
I just need a basic explanation, like Germany = Rheinland 'cause a part of Germany is called Rheinland ...

I believe it means "Chains", not sure why though.

Apparently it's also Anime Erotica.

It's a weapon. Something like a scythe with a chain on the other end. There's a weight on the chain so it's possible to swing it in a circle around your other hand.

Okay, forget that. Kama or Gama is the scythe, Kusari is the chain.

Simply means chain, obviously.

So the meaning of "Kusari" is the same as "Coalition"?
