Japan
This is the Chinese and Japanese Kanji name for the country of Japan.
日 means sun and 本 means origin. That is how Japan is known as the land of the rising sun (literally the place where the sun originates from).
Beautiful Clear Sky
日本晴 is a Japanese Kanji title that means beautiful weather, clear and cloudless sky, or clear weather.
It's a little odd, but if you literally translated this phrase, it says, “Japanese weather,” as if that was an indication of perfect weather (maybe a little arrogant on behalf of Japan - I've experienced a monsoon there, which was unpleasant).
Nihon Jujitsu
This is the martial arts title Nihon Jujitsu or Nihon Jujutsu in Japanese Kanji.
The literal meaning is Japan(ese) Jujitsu.
Nippon Kempo
日本拳法 is the title for Nippon Kempo, Japanese Kempo, Nihon Kempo, or Nippon Kenpo.
While Kempo or Kenpo is already a Japanese term, this has the word “Japan” (Nippon) to drive home the fact that this refers to the Japanese martial art of Kenpo.
Nihon Karate-Do
日本空手道 is the title Nihon Karate Do in Japanese Kanji.
The literal meaning is “Japan(ese) empty hand way.”
Nippon Shorin-Ryu
日本小林流 is the Japanese title Nippon Shorin-ryu.
Japanese Karate Association
日本空手協会 is the Kanji for Nihon Karate Kyōkai or Japanese Karate Association.
Nippon Karate Kyokai
日本空手協会 is the title for Nippon Karate Kyokai in Japanese Kanji.
Nippon Karate-Do Genbu-Kai
Japanese Genbu Karate Club
日本空手道玄武會 is the title for Nippon Karate-Do Genbu-Kai.
A Japanese karate association of the Genbu school.
Note that while this title does make perfect sense in Chinese, it is really a Japanese title. In fact, the first word is “Japanese/Japan.”
