Kiyomizu-dera Temple's country (5)

I believe the answer is:

japan

(Other definitions for japan that I've seen before include "Glossy, black varnish; country" , "East Asian island nation" , "black gloss" , "Country in East Asia" , "Land of the Rising Sun" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
