Way Back When...

Not many people in Japan were still using stone tools and getting there food by hunting. This was before 200s BC. Once the 200s BC arrived, things changed a wee bit more. Kyushu, Japan's major island,a new culture started. The Japanese began to use iron, bronze, tool-making, and wet-rice agriculture. This new culture brought people with it. These people were migrating to Japan. It is thought they probabaly came from Korea.
This was happening about the time of Augustus Caesar. During this time they reached a plain called the Kanto Plain. They raised horses and cows, as well as hunting fish and growing rice. Due to the amount of food being produced, many people started to come to Japan.
