Early Japanese Civilization

 Hey guys, is Francisco Hernandez and  today it’s a pleasure to talk about Japan’s early civilization! The Early Japanese Civilization doesn’t have much written records of the earliest times. However, the little much we know about it is very impressing. First, I like how the field of archeology was shock when they found out the fact that Japan’s civilizations were the first ones to create pottery. I guess that as Japan being an island isolated from most of the worlds civilizations, people thought that they didn’t have enough resources, idea or influences of others masterpiece civilizations like Roman, Greek, Indian etc. to be the first ones to create the amazing art of pottery. The first constructed pottery were made from clay and later on impressed with ropes or cords which gave birth to the Jomon era. In this era beautiful amazing and awesome pottery was created. 

          Also, I respect the early Japanese civilization because they went against the fact that we all believed about hunting-gathering people, which is that they do not have time to do 

anything else other than hunt and move from place to place.However, the early inhabitants of Japan created pottery while still in a hunting-gathering phase, which is very impressing. In addition to the Japanese creating the first pottery, how impressing is that the civilization of this little land mass surrounded by water also created the world’s first novel called The Tale of Genji.     

 This novel being the most enduring and influential of all works

of Japanese literature, was created by a woman, which really caught 

my attention because it shows that both sexes were equal not like in most

civilization at the time and even now that the woman is always metaphorically behind and under the man. Altogether, I really enjoy reading how impressing the Japanese civilization is, I hope you guys did too.
