		Ancient Japan ^Votes:0 HANDBOOK FOR THE STUDY OF EASTERN LITERATURES ANCIENT JAPAN by Dr. Robert Churchill Creighton University Prehistory * Archaeologists long believed that Japan had no prehistoric culture; however, excavations conducted since end of WWII have unearthed Paleolithic chipped-stone tools (but no human remains). People who used these tools probably moved from Asia to Japan over several land bridges that joined Japanese islands with the mainland (near Korea and SE coastline of Siberia). Paleolithic Age in Japan dated from 30,000 to 10,000 years ago. Little known about the islands' inhabitants during this time--artifacts indicate they probably lived in pits or caves, used fire, and subsisted by hunting/gathering. No bone or horn tools or pottery recovered from these sites (indicates a Pre-Pottery cu Read More Go to Site


		Ancient Japan ^Votes:0 appear in history until 57 AD when it is first mentioned in Chinese histories, where it is referred to as "Wa." The Chinese historians tell us of a land divided into a hundred or so separate tribal communities without writing or political cohesion. The Japanese do not start writing their histories until around 600 AD; this historical writing culminates in 700 AD in the massive chronicles, The Record of Ancient Matters and the Chronicles of Japan. These chronicles tell a much different and much more legendary history of Japan, deriving the people of Japan from the gods themselves. The Japanese are late-comers in Asian history. Preceding their unification and their concern with their own history in the latter half of the first millenium AD is a long period of migration and settlement. Where Read More Go to Site

		Japanese Roots ^Votes:0 Bottom of Page Japanese Roots Just who are the Japanese? Where did they come from, and when? by Jared Diamond Just who are the Japanese? Where did they come from and when? The answers are difficult to come by, though not impossible ?\ the real problem is that the Japanese themselves may not want to know. Unearthing the origins of the Japanese is a much harder task than you might guess. Among world powers today, the Japanese are the most distinctive in their culture and environment. The origins of their language are one of the most disputed questions of linguistics. These questions are central to the self-image of the Japanese and to how they are viewed by other peoples. Japan's rising dominance and touchy relations with its neighbors make it more important than ever to strip away myths and Read More Go to Site

		Memory of Jomon Period ^Votes:0 Memory of Jomon Period ?\| Ken Sakamura ?\| There is no question that academic materials are important to museums. Digitalization is by no means a technology that renders actual items unnecessary, and it does not confront exhibits of actual items as an alternative. Rather, the digital museum concept espouses the concept that the fusion of virtual museums comprising information with real museums comprising actual items is important to 21st century museums. For example, if a copy with more complete information about an exhibit is stored in a digital archive, this acts as a plus in terms of long-term storage of the original materials, by reducing the necessity of the original materials. In addition, by using computers to search via networks the abundant information in digital archives, it is po Read More Go to Site
