A cartoon buddy of Japan who makes history notes.
Hello Buddy. So it is true that some of the oldest and most cultured civilisations came from Asia and are of oriental origin. While the European leaders and peoples lived in the most basic tribal villages the honourable Emperor's lived already in fine palaces and ruled over what at the time was a rather advanced living system. The Emperor's before the Oriental version of Europe's dark ages are mostly like the United Kingdoms King Arthur, mythical, and based on people who probably really did exist but of which there is no absolute proof. The reader of this note page may wish to find a list of Japan's historical Emperor's below.
My Japan history notes
Japan's ancestors were migrants from the mainland of Asia the earliest known being the Ainu clan who arrived around 15000 BC to populate the islands. The first Emperor was said to be Jimmu Tenno 660 BC, but the general history involves only legends up to 98 BC and cannot be proven to any great degree by human archaeologists. Around 450 AD the Yamato clan united the population, and lay claim to being the ancestors of the Imperial line. In the fifth and sixth centuries the religion of Buddhism, the art of writing and philosophy of Confucius spread from China to the Island of Japan. By the middle sixth century the central government was also modelled on the Chinese role model (known as the Taika reform by Emperor Kotoku). By the 12th century the first Shogun (Warrior King and General) emerged from a period of civil war and a succession then ruled Japan in the Emperors name. [ More]
