Japan: Encyclopedia II - Japan - History

Japan - Pre-history. Archaeological research indicates that the earliest inhabitants of Japan migrated over land bridges from Korea and Siberia, at least 30,000 years ago.

Japan: Encyclopedia - Culture of Japan

After several waves of migrations from the Asian continent and nearby Pacific islands, followed by heavy importation of culture from China and Korea, the inhabitants of Japan experienced a long period of relative isolation from the outside world until the arrival of the "Black Ships" and the Meiji era. As a result, a culture distinctively different than other Asian cultures developed, and echoes of this persist even in the modern Japan of today. For example, as Ruth Benedict pointed out in her classic study "The Chrysanthemum and the ...
