The Jōmon period, named after its cord-marked pottery, followed this era. During the first millennium BC, Japan saw the introduction of new inventions from Asia, a time known as the Yayoi period.
This era is said to have laid the foundation for much of the present-day Japanese culture, art, and museum exhibits. The first recorded reference to Japan was made in the Chinese Book of Han in the first century AD, marking an important milestone in Japan’s historical journey.
The Yayoi people immigrated to Japan around the 3rd century BC, bringing with them iron technology and agricultural civilization, which proved to be a turning point in Japan’s transport and economic progress.
