The Entire History of Ancient Japan

Описание: Japan’s ancient history began long before samurai and shoguns on islands shaped by nature, isolation, and time.

This short historical documentary explores the entire journey of Ancient Japan, from the early Jōmon hunter-gatherers, creators of some of the world’s oldest pottery, to the rise of rice farming during the Yayoi period, and the formation of Japan’s earliest kingdoms.

As centuries passed, powerful clans built massive kofun tombs, laying the foundations of the Yamato state and the imperial line that continues today. Influences from China and Korea introduced writing, Buddhism, and new systems of government all adapted to fit Japan’s unique culture.

The story continues through the refined court life of the Heian period, before power shifted to the warrior class and the rise of the samurai and shogunate.

This is a story not just of rulers and wars, but of adaptation, identity, and continuity.
