Korean influence on Japanese culture: Difference between revisions
Between 800 and 600 BC, new technology and cultural objects began appearing in Japan, starting in [[Kyushu]].Barnes (2015), pp. 271–273. Gradually the [[Jōmon period|Jōmon culture]] was supplanted across Japan by the [[Yayoi period|Yayoi culture]] that practiced wet-rice farming. According to the historians Gina Barnes and Satoru Nakazono, this represented a cultural flow from southern Korea to Kyushu. By contrast, Charles T. Keally argues that wet-rice farming, which was originally practiced in China, could also have come to Kyushu directly from China.{{cite web |url=http://www.t-net.ne.jp/~keally/yayoi.html |title=Yayoi Culture |first=Charles T. |last=Keally |date=2006-06-03 |work=Japanese Archaeology |publisher=Charles T.

The result was rapid growth in the Japanese population during the Yayoi period and subsequent [[Kofun period]].Rhee, Aikens, Choi, and Ro, pp. 420–422. Japanese people also began to use metal tools, arrowheads, new forms of pottery, moats, burial mounds, and styles of housing which were of peninsular origin.Habu, p. 258. A significant cause of these dramatic changes in Japanese society was likely an influx of immigrants from southern Korea.Totman, p. 59. Historian Hiroshi Tsude estimated that as many as 1.8 million Koreans immigrated to Japan during the Yayoi period.{{harv|Farris|1998|p=109}}

According to Japanese historian Tadashi Nishitani, the [[Yoshinogari site]], an archeological site in [[Kyushu]] dating from the late Yayoi period, appears virtually identical to villages in the Korean peninsula of the same period.Rhee, Aikens, Choi, and Ro, pp. 430–432. By contrast, the burial mounds at Yoshinogari show signs of influence from the Chinese [[Lelang Commandery]].Barnes (2007), p. 105. During this period Japan imported great numbers of peninsular mirrors and daggers, which were the symbols of power in Korea. Combined with the curved jewel known as the [[magatama]], Korea’s “three treasures” soon became as prized by Japan’s elites as Korea’s, and in Japan they later became the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]].

The stove known as the ”[[kamado]]” was of continental origin, having been invented in China but was modified in by the peninsular peoples before it was introduced to Japan. According to the historian William Wayne Farris, the introduction of the ”kamado” “had a profound effect on daily life in ancient Japan” and “represented a major advance for residents of Japan’s pit dwellings”. The hearth ovens (”ro”:炉/”umigamero”:埋甕炉) previously used to cook meals and heat homes were less safe, more difficult to use, and less heat efficient, and by the seventh century the ”kamado” was in widespread use in Japan. According to Farris, Japanese people referred to the ”kamado” as ”kara kamado”, which can be translated into English as “Korean ovens”. However, in some parts of northeastern Japan, open-hearth ovens continued to be preferred.Totman, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wsGkAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA64 pp.64–65].
