The US used to use that as well but I dunno if younger people would be aware of it these days. There's an old ee cummings poem that mentions "nipponized" metal.

Nippon still gets used today in names of places or organizations, and the sports chant equivalent of "USA! USA!" is "Nippon cha cha cha!"
