Japanese Baseball Mound?

Japanese Baseball Mound?
American Major League Baseball has a mound that stands 10 inches above the level of home plate. Is the mound in Japanese baseball raised? If so what are the regulations and how high it stands?

Yes, the mound is raised. While I don't know exactly how high, it's safe to assume that it's the same as in MLB, as the rule book for NPB is bases off of the MLB rule book.
The only issue with the mound that I've ever heard of is about the mound density [CJ's blog].

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
