Shikoku (四国, "four provinces")
is the smallest of the four main islands of Japan, located south of Honshū and east of the island of Kyūshū.
Its ancient names include Iyo-no-futana-shima (伊予之二名島), Iyo-shima (伊予島), and Futana-shima (二名島). The current name refers to the four former provinces which made up the island: Awa, Tosa, Sanuki, and Iyo.
