Sa Bo Ree. Japanese syllables don’t end in consonants, except ’n’.

What’s funny is that the Chinese, Korean and Japanese clearly share a common
ancestry — the Han people.
Bruce Cummings, who wrote extensively about Korean history, raised the
interesting question — where does “nippon” (the land of the rising sun) come
from? The only place on Earth you can stand and face the Japanese island chain
in the same direction that the sun rises is on the end of the Korean peninsula.
