Answer: To illustrate Japan's isolation in the 1800s.
Explanation: The outside source in this excerpt (the first few lines) clearly describes how while the rest of the world was dealing with monarchies, wars and developing new technologies like trains and wheels, Japan decided to be totally closed off from all of that, and they concentrated just in painting screens for 200 years.

The original name is from the Mohegan word "quinnitukqut" which means "at the long tidal river."
The name was transliterated sort of poorly (see: Nippon vs. Japan for another example... among thousands) by the English speaking folks of the time and it became Connecticut when spelled but the pronunciation was a little harder to fudge, it seems.
It depends on where it's from. You know when you mail a letter to a far away friend, it takes a couple of days? Well, once the item is out of the post office, it's shipping to its destination, but that doesn't mean they'll get it that day.
If you ordered something from China, then it'll take a few weeks. If you ordered something in your state, a few days. If you ordered something from next door, you'll get it the next day.
Hope this helps! Have a happy New Year!
