The
culture of Japan has evolved greatly over the years, from the
country's original Jomon culture to its contemporary hybrid culture,
which combines influences from Asia, Europe and North America. After
several waves of immigration from the continent and nearby Pacific
islands, followed by a heavy importation of culture from China, the
inhabitants of Japan experienced a long period of relative isolation
from the outside world under the Tokugawa shogunate until the
arrival of the "The Black Ships" and the Meiji era. As a result, a
culture distinctively different from other Asian cultures developed,
and echoes of this persist in contemporary Japan.Note: most topics have videos....enjoy. |
