Wards of Japan
A ku (区), conventionally translated as ward (but closer to "borough" in normal English use), is a district in a large Japanese city. Wards are used to subdivide each city designated by government ordinance, as well as Tokyo (where the "23 special wards" have a quasi-municipal status).
