	2. The fundamental understanding to Japanese culture. 2-1. The formation of Japanese peoples.
	We often hear the words Japan is the country composed of the mono-peoples. Of course, in this case, it means Japanese peoples. However, if the actual circumstances are seen, it seems it only is that the people living in Japan almost is the Japanese people. As it stated before, it is because the characteristic of actual peoples can't but change because of the mixing of blood, and the change of culture or other. The changeless peoples would only exist into the Idea World. Thereupon, it first has to think from the viewpoint like that about the conception of Japanese peoples. So, at this knot, it states the outline of when so-called Japanese peoples were born how why though the detailed explanation is stated in each knot. In the history of Japanese Islands, the period from B.C. about 8000 to B.C. 300 is called Jomon period. And, at that time, the Jomon people, while evolving the Jomon culture, were living in Japanese Islands. Then, in the recent study, it is said Jomon people are the old type Mongoloid. Since the old type Mongoloid didn't change their characteristic form and quality in spite of the very cold climate of glacial epoch, it is said it was named like that. Therefore, they are classed as the race different from the new type Mongoloid who was evolved slightly, adjusting to the cold climate. In passing, the new type Mongoloid is the Mongoloid everybody knows. By the way, the Jomon culture degenerated rapidly in the last part of the Jomon period. And, it almost disappeared at least from the western Japanese Islands at B.C. about 300. Then, at that time, Yayoi people having the physical feature like the new Mongoloid, spreading to the Japanese Islands toward the northeast from the southwest, had expanded their territory in rapid step. Their culture, that is, Yayoi culture rather had the rational and objective characteristic about the world view, comparing with the emotional and subjective characteristic Jomon culture has. And, it seems the many of us are interpreting Yayoi people as our ancestor. But, behind the recognition like that, it seems there is the simple conjecture the Yayoi people drove out the Jomon people into the ruin. However, would it be so really ? When the Jomon people were living in the various area of Japanese Islands, the Altaic people (the new Mongoloid), that is, the ancestor of Korean people and so on kept migrating toward the south from the north in the Asian Continent ceaselessly. And, they came also to Japanese Islands, crossing the Sea of Japan, soon. However, since they originally were the inland people, it seems their art of navigation was inferior to the Jomon people at least at that beginning. Moreover, since it seems their ships and so on also weren't so excellent, it seems it was impossible they come to Japanese Islands as the large members. So, many of them concentrated to the struggle for the survival in the Asian Continent and the Korean peninsula probably. If in spite of that, the new Mongoloid tries to come to the Japanese Islands, it is certain it was forced to cross the sea at the risk of shipwreck in the very small members. So, the people to arrive at Japanese Island narrowly couldn't survive in Japanese Islands if it doesn't depend on Jomon society. In other words, they couldn't but use the language in Japanese Islands, that is, the Jomon language, accepting the custom of Jomon society. But, in spite of the difficulty like that, they, coming to Japanese Islands one after another, kept on mixing one's blood to the Jomon people if the future consideration is proper. Probably, it is because the fierce wars often occurred in the Asian Continent. Moreover, it would be because the certain rules for each tribe were established because of the frequent trade or other in Japanese Islands probably. In other words, Jomon society in the Japanese Islands relatively was in the politically stable condition. So, the new Mongoloid wanted to come to Japanese Island looking like the earthly paradise, escaping from the confusion of Asian continent. If not, the current of people may have been converse. It is because the culture in the continent was about to be superior to Jomon culture in those days if it doesn't consider the climate and other circumstances for the direction of emigration. By the way, Yin dynasty(about B.C. 15000) appears in China soon. And, it was the obvious evidence showing that the culture of the new Mongoloid gave the civilization the birth. In fact, the old type Mongoloid was absorbed or driven out by the new Mongoloid one after another in the Asian Continent. It seems such condition in Asian continent started from nearly the middle term of the Jomon period if it explains it in the historical division of Japan. On the other hand, in Japanese Islands, the Jomon people as the old type Mongoloid kept cultivating one's culture while keeping one's blood narrowly. However, it can't assert Japanese Islands were peace completely. It is because the fierce social changes in the continent also started to give Jomon society the great influence as well. Moreover, the Japanese Islands start to be covered in the colder climate than before when the time was drawn to the latter part of the Jomon period. In spite of that, the population in the Japanese Islands still kept on increasing. In that reason, in spite of the evolution of the farming technology, it sinks into the condition short of the foods gradually. The habitants in Japanese Islands were obliged to roam from place to place or to migrate to other area, looking for the foods when the food shortage like that comes to be more serious. Furthermore, at that time, the new Mongoloid in the Continent make develop their civilization rapidly. It seems the Jomon people were exposed to the vague uneasiness that it may be invaded from the people living in the Continent. And, if such possibility becomes the reality, it falls to be hard that the various rules among the tribes in Japanese Islands function to normal. By any chance, at that time, many wars may have occurred among the tribes because of the various anxiousness. Rather, it seems it is better to think that it occurred actually frequently. At any rate, it was certain their uneasiness and fear kept increasing because of the change of the natural environment and because of the change of society day after day. It seems it was the natural result each tribe wished the stronger powers. And, the mental tendency like that led them to the fight to get the supremacy in the Japanese Islands whether they like it or not. If so, it isn't so hard to think they wished to import the excellent technology from the continent. It seems rather it is better to say the technology like that was the important weapon not permitted to lack for the Jomon people. In that reason, it was the natural course the patriarchs in Japanese Islands gave the visitors or emigrants coming from the continent the warm. Probably, the patriarchs in Japanese Islands must have given the emigrants the high status and honor, the wealth and their daughter, and so on, trying to make the emigrants, and so on work in the comfortable condition if it judges them excellent. "Welcome! All comers". It seems the Japanese Islands in those days were in the condition like that more than the present United States of America. If so, it can think that in Jomon society, the upper classes were having the characteristic form and quality in Yayoi people more than the lower classes for the certain period. If you know the history of world, recall the social structure with the double layer like this is seen as a time. The tribes in Japanese Islands were obliged to battle to get the supremacy under the social condition like that. Therefore, the old tribes not accepting the new Mongoloid's technology and blood were driven to the disadvantageous circumstances gradually. And, in that reason, they were forced to decide whether it should fall into the ruin or should obey the strong tribe or should escape toward the north. In other words, the Jomon people had been forced to become the Yayoi people, accepting the new Mongoloid's characteristic form and quality if it tries to survive in Japanese Islands. The Yayoi people born like that are named the Wha from Chinese people, soon. The tribes having more blood of the Yayoi people conquer or ruin the tribes having more blood of the Jomon people. Furthermore, the winners in the fights like that are conquered or ruined by the tribe having more blood of the Yayoi people than them. The Jomon people rapidly changed to the Yayoi people in the process like that probably. As it stated before, it is related to the fact that the emigrants from the continent were given the high status. It is because their children were in the very favorable condition for survival than the people of the lower classes. It can imagine the thing also from the myth that Oo-kuni-nusi as the god of Izumo had sexual relations in many princesses. According to Kojiki, he came to get the high status considerably, conquering various difficulties. In passing, since the myth is the important material for examining the history, it shouldn't be ignored carelessly. Of course, it can't think the myth is describing the fact in detail. However, it is possible to think it is expressing the old memory of one community with the symbolic meaning. But, it can't deny there is the possibility the contents of Japanese myth were changed by the rulers in the certain times. Therefore, it has to examine carefully the consistency of the myth and history if it tries to find out the old memory from the myth. By the way, it seems it is the mistake it asserts that the Jomon people were conquered by the invaders who came from the continent if above conjecture is proper. It thinks the characteristic of the Japanese people's brain is the evidence to point out such a mistake. However, the detailed explanation is stated later.
NEXT PAGE			Anyhow, it can say Japanese peoples are the crystal of the formed blood and culture in the above mentioned process. And, it seems the formation of Japanese peoples was continued until A.D. 300 in perspective and until the more latter period partially. Or, it may be better to understand the history of formation of Japanese peoples like that to be the process having continued in the ancient Korean peninsula and Japanese Islands or other, not only in Japanese Islands. Anyhow, about the formation of Japanese peoples and its process, it seems it was stated nearly properly. If so, in spite of the ceaseless mix of blood like that, why would the Wha have continued to be the Wha ? Naturally, it would be related to the Japanese habitants' and other people's consciousness that the habitant of Japanese Island roughly are the people having the same characteristic form and quality. However, leaving foreign consciousness, would what be footing we have as Japanese people? It thinks to examine the Japanese language to find out that answer next.
