Following a population expansion in Neolithic times, these newcomers then found their way to the Japanese archipelago sometime during the Yayoi period. As a result, replacement of the hunter gatherers was common in the island regions of Kyasha, Shikoku, and southern Honshi, but did not prevail in the outlying islands of Okinawa and Hokkaids, and the Ryukyuan and Ainu people show mixed characteristics.

The name "Jomon" (4 Jémon) means "cord-impressed pattern”, and comes from the characteristic markings found on the pottery. The Jémon people were mostly hunter-gatherers, but also practicized early agriculture, such as Azuki bean cultivation. At least one middle to late Jomon site (Minami Mizote (Si# ¥), ca. 1200-1000 BC) had also a primitive rice-growing agriculture. They relied primarily on fish and nuts for protein. The ethnic roots of the Jomon period population (see Jomon people) were heterogeneous and can be traced back to ancient Northeast Asia, the Tibetan plateau, ancient Taiwan and Siberia [4815354] ‘A 2021 study concluded that the Jomon people descended from a common Basal-East Asian source population in Mainland Southeast Asia, which also gave rise to the other East Asian-related populations, however the Jomon became isolated on the Japanese archipelago at about 15,000 BCE, which resulted in their relative more Basal position compared to other East Asians.

The earliest attested form of the language, Old Japanese, dates to the 8th century. Japanese phonology is characterized by a relatively small number of vowel phonemes, frequent gemination and a distinctive pitch accent system. The modern Japanese language has a tripartite writing system using hiragana, katakana and kanji, The language includes native Japanese words and a large number of words derived from the Chinese language. In Japan the adult literacy rate in the Japanese language exceeds 99%.{°l Dozens of Japanese dialects are spoken in regions of Japan.

Literature Bisque doll of Momotar8, a character from Japanese literature and folklore Certain genres of writing originated in and are often associated with Japanese society. These include the haiku, tanka, and I Novel, although modern writers generally avoid these writing styles. Historically, many works have sought to capture or codify traditional Japanese cultural values and aesthetics. Some of the most famous of these include Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji (1021), about Heian court culture; Miyamoto Musashi's The Book of Five Rings (1645), concerning military strategy; Matsuo Basho's Oku no Hosomichi (1691), a travelogue; and Jun‘ichird Tanizaki's essay "In Praise of Shadows” (1933), which contrasts Eastern and Western cultures. Following the opening of Japan to the West in 1854, some works of this style were written in English by natives of Japan; they include Bushido: The Soul of Japan by Nitobe Inazd (1900), concerning samurai ethies, and The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzd (1906), which deals with the philosophical implications of the Japanese tea ceremony. Western observers have often attempted to evaluate Japanese society as well, to varying degrees of success; one of the most well-known and controversial works resulting from this is Ruth hilps:ifen wikipedia.orgiwikiJapanese_people 0129 2710112022, 00:07 Japanese people - Wikipedia Benedict's The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (1946). Twentieth-century Japanese writers recorded changes in Japanese society through their works. Some of the most notable authors included Natsume Séseki, Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, Osamu _Dazai, Fumiko Enchi, Akiko Yosano, Yukio Mishima, and Ryotaro Shiba. Popular contemporary authors such as Ry Murakami, Haruki Murakami, and Banana Yoshimoto have been translated into many languages and enjoy international followings, and Yasunari Kawabata and Kenzaburd Oe were awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Arts Decorative arts in Japan date back to prehistoric times. Jomon pottery includes examples with elaborate ornamentation. In the Yayoi period, artisans produced mirrors, spears, and ceremonial bells known as dotaku. Later burial mounds, or kofun, preserve characteristic clay figures known as haniwa, as ‘well as wall paintings. Beginning in the Nara period, painting, calligraphy, and sculpture flourished under strong Confucian and Buddhist influences from China. Among the architectural achievements of this period are the Horyi-ji and the Yakushi-ji, two Buddhist temples in Nara Prefecture.

After the TOdai-ji was attacked and burned during the Genpei War, a special office of restoration was founded, and the Tédai-ji became an important artistic center. The leading masters of the time were Unkei and Kaikei. Painting advanced in the Muromachi period in the form of ink wash painting under the influence of Zen Buddhism as practiced by such masters as Sesshii Toyo. Zen Buddhist tenets were also elaborated into the tea ceremony during the Sengoku period. During the Edo period, the polychrome painting screens of the Kand school were made influential thanks to their powerful patrons (including the Tokugawas). Popular artists created ukiyo-e, woodblock prints for sale to commoners in the flourishing cities. Pottery such as Imari ware was highly valued as far away as Europe. In theater, Noh is a traditional, spare dramatic form that developed in tandem with kygen farce. In stark contrast to the restrained refinement of noh, kabuki, an "explosion of color", use every possible stage trick for dramatic effect. Plays include sensational events such as suicides, and many such works were performed in both kabuki and bunraku puppet theaters. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has absorbed elements of Western culture and has given them a “Japanese” feel or modification into it. It's modern decorative, practical, and performing arts works span a spectrum ranging from the traditions of Japan to purely Western modes. Products of popular culture, including J-pop, J-rock, manga and anime have found audiences and fans around the world. htlps:Yen wikipedia orgwikitJapanese_people 12129 2701/2022, 00:07 Japanese people - Wikipedia Citizenship Article 10 of the Constitution of Japan defines the term "Japanese" based upon Japanese nationality.72! The concept of "ethnic groups" in Japanese census statistics differs from the concept applied in many other countries. For example, the United Kingdom Census queries the respondent's "ethnic or racial background", regardless of nationality.) The Japanese Statistics Bureau, however, asks only about nationality in the census. The Government of Japan regards all naturalized Japanese citizens and native-born Japanese nationals with a multi-ethnic background as Japanese. There is no distinction based on ethnicity. There's no official ethnicity census data(74] Because the census equates nationality with ethnicity, its figures erroneously assume that naturalized Japanese citizens and Japanese nationals with multi-ethnic backgrounds are ethnically ‘Japanese. John Lie, Eiji Oguma, and other scholars problematize the widespread belief that Japan is ethnically homogeneous, arguing that it is more accurate to describe Japan as a multiethnic society,!751l76] although such claims have long been rejected by conservative elements of Japanese society such as former Japanese Prime Minister Tard Asb, who once described Japan as being a nation of "one race, one civilization, one language and one culture".!77] There is an increase of hafu (half Japanese) people, but the amount is relatively small.
