	2. The fundamental understanding to Japanese culture. 2-2. About Japanese language.
	The culture to be based on the language is one element composing the conception of peoples. Therefore, considering the language is important for examining the formation of peoples. And, it thinks that the Japanese language has been formed as Japanese peoples are formed. The following is the reason it guessed like that. The old type Mongoloid lived not only in Japanese Islands but also in the East Asian Continent and Korean peninsula, and so on in old times. However, it seems the people of the old type Mongoloid as for the continent almost disappeared at earlier times than the last term of Jomon period because of the prosperity of the new Mongoloid. And, it can think the Mongoloid of old type living in Korean peninsula almost disappeared at earlier times than the beginning of Yayoi period because the Korean peninsula is adjacent to the inland area. In other words, they, accepting the genetic and mental characteristic the new Mongoloid has, became the Altaic people, soon. In that reason, the language of the old type Mongoloid nearly came to not be used in the Korean peninsula at that time. But, it can't assert the language like that was lost there completely. In connection with the thing, there was the country called Kaja in the southernmost part of the Korean peninsula in fourth Century. To tell the truth, it is that there is the possibility the language like Jomon language or Japanese ancient language has been used there though it is the conjecture persistently. The Kaja was called the Imna from the Wha in ancient time. If so, it can think the Kaja was related to the ancient Japan deeply. And, it is said the Yamato as the supreme ruler in ancient Japan insisted frequently it has the right to possess the Kaja though the reason isn't clear. Moreover, it can't assert that the people in the Kaja weren't the same kind as the Wha if the conjecture about formation of Wha is proper. If so, it is that it also is possible to think that the ancient Japanese language was used in Kaja. In passing, as for the Yamato's insistence about the Kaja, it is far ancient problem. Since it seems it already was solved by the history, it isn't the now problem persistently. By the way, though it returns to the main theme, in those days, the language environment in Japanese Islands in Jomon period was different from the continent and Korean Peninsula considerably. As it stated before, it is because the people to come to Japanese Islands from the continent at the ancient time couldn't but use the Jomon language. Even if the language of continent was used in ancient Japanese Islands, it would have to think it was the complement of the Jomon language persistently. It is that the Sea of Japan brought the difference like that between the Japanese Islands and the continent. However, when the culture of the new Mongoloid in the continent became superior than Jomon culture, the habitants of Japanese Islands started to accept the culture of the continent for their survival. And, Jomon language also started to change because of the circumstances like that. In other words, it is that the people in Japanese Islands adopted the Altaic words and intonation and so on for Jomon language positively. In those days, they must have been feeling the high sense and the practical value to the language to be used in the continent probably. (In this case, the continent includes the Korean peninsula). It can easily understand the thing if it considers the present flood of the loan word from English. The Jomon language in those days must have been exposed to the more violent change than today. Because of the language environment like that, the Jomon language started to be evolved to the ancient Japanese language. However, would what kind of language have been the Jomon language? It thinks it can find out the remains of the Jomon language into the present Japanese language. Today, it is said the people called Ainu living mainly in Hokkaido are the old type Mongoloid. (Hokkaido is the northernmost big Island of Japan). They were called Ezo from Japanese people at least until Meiji era. Generally, the "Ezo" are composed of the two Chinese characters expressing the meaning like the uncivilized or violent people and so on in Japanese language. On the other hand, in Nara period and Heian period, the words composed of these Chinese characters were pronounced like the "Emisi" or "Ebisu", and so on, not like Ezo. And, at that time, the "Emisi" and "Ebisu", and so on expressed the people who are living in the northeast area of Japanese Islands and don't obey Yamato. By the way, "Emisi" wasn't composed of above Chinese Characters in the older times. It is that it was composed of the three Chinese characters in the Kojiki edited in the beginning of 8 century. That is the oldest "Emisi" to be seen in the ancient book. And, Kojiki described "Emisi" as the strong barbarians pointing the swords to Yamato. Since Kojiki edited by Yamato is saying so, it would be truth probably the Emisi is the strong enemy for Yamato. But, since the story in question was stated like myth persistently, it seems it is the symbolic expression of the olden memories, not the fact itself. Anyhow, it is that the "Emisi" composed of the three Chinese characters expressing the pronunciation came to get composed of the Two Chinese characters expressing the meaning as time goes on. As it stated before, the "Emisi" was used to express the rebellious people of the northeast area. In that reason, it seems two Chinese Characters expressing barbarians were used at Heian period. And, it is that the two Chinese characters expressing Emisi were pronounced like the "Ezo", to express the ancestor of Ainu later. In other words, the contents of Kojiki and the above mentioned historical process make us feel the blood relationship of the Jomon people and Emisi and Ezo(Ainu). It also can guess the thing from the fact that the bones of the Jomon people have the feature of bone of Ainu. Moreover, as for the Emisi, it can think it had the blood and mentality of the old type Mongoloid considerably though by any chance, it may have been influenced from the Yayoi culture as for their life style and so on. If so, the Emisi was the people similar to Ezo though there is the possibility Emisi has the blood of Yayoi people more than Ezo. (The detailed explanation is stated in "The soul like Jomon lurking to Japanese gods and goddesses".) By the way, it is said that in the old society of Ainu, there was the custom to express the respecting with stroking the guest's legs and arms several times. If so, there is strong possibility the Jomon people, that is, the people of old type Mongoloid living in Japanese Islands also had the custom like that because it seems to be the ancestor of Ainu. If it reads the part of myth of Kojiki, it can find out the interesting description about the man called "Asi-naduti" and the woman called "Te-naduti". According to that description, they were in the married relationship for the long time, and were being tormented day after day, given the terrible threat and harm from the vast snake having the eight heads. It is that their daughters almost had been eaten by that snake. But, one day, god called Susa-nho-o happens to pass by their home and realizes their crisis. Thereupon, Susa-nho-o, killing the vast snake with the certain stratagem, rescued them and the surviving daughter. By the way, it seems "Te-naduti" and "Asi-naduti", as a matter of fact, are "Te-nade" and "Asi-nade". In this case, the "te" means the hand. The "asi" means the legs. Then, the "nade" means the stroking something. In other words, since their names means the stroking the hands and legs, it seems it is the name symbolizing the deed of respect for Susa-nho-o in this case. They must have stroked Susa-nho-o's hands and legs eagerly, wanting the rescue. As it stated before, it is that the deed of respect like that also was the custom of Emisi's society seeming to have the culture similar to the Ainu. If so, it can guess that "Asi-naduti" and "Te-naduti" to be the imaginary persons, and to be the symbol of the Yayoi people considerably having the blood of Jomon. Though at the moment, it isn't so clear whether they are so-called Emisi or not, it seems it is certain they are the people similar to Emisi. And, if this myth is the expression of the old memories, there is strong possibility the people Te-naduti and Asi-naduti symbolize were the inhabitants of the Kinai, that is, the inhabitants of Nara and Osaka and the surrounding countryside though the reason is stated later. When it reads the geography book looking to be oldest in China, it can find out the description to be guessed to be referring to Japanese Islands, in the knot of the overseas east areas. And, that description says there is the country of the hairy people in the northeast area of that land. Moreover, In the Heian period in Japan, the "Emisi" also was composed of the Chinese characters meaning the hairy people besides the Chinese characters meaning the barbarian. If so, there is the strong possibility the hairy people the Chinese old geography book in question describes are a kind of Emisi having considerably the blood of Jomon people. It is because the people called Emisi in the Heian period mainly were living in the northeast area of the Japanese Islands. Anyhow, it was certain "Te-naduti" and "Asi-naduti" were the symbol of the Yayoi people having considerably the blood of Jomon people. But, Te-naduti and Asi-naduti are the symbol of people older than the Emisi who were living in the northeast area in Heian period. Therefore, there is strong possibility they were different from the above mentioned Emisi slightly. In connection with the thing, it seems the people attacking Te-naduti and Asi-naduti were Emisi having the blood of Jomon people more than Asi-naduti and Te-naduti. Anyhow, it can say the ancient Japanese history was the process to mix the blood of various people, was the process to mix the various culture. However, the people called Emisi came to show the characteristic of the Jomon people increasingly probably, holding the married relationship with the people who have the characteristic of the Jomon people more than them as Yamato's powers expand. It is because they, to defend oneself from Yamato and to keep one's culture, made the relationship of the alliance with people like Jomon people. So, the Chinese Characters meaning the Emisi were used to express the people like Ezo at a later date. Anyhow, since the "Emisi" and the "Ezo" both are strongly emitting the smell of Jomon culture, as it thought, it is certain they have the point in common in the culture and blood. And, the language is the footing of culture in at least the human society. In that reason, it also is certain the Jomon language and the Ainu's language, or the Jomon language and the Emisi's language are in the very close relationship though no one knows Jomon language and Emisi's language. By the way, the culture of Ainu almost didn't change for long. If so, it doesn't seem their language also is so different from their ancient language. In other words, it seems the Ainu's language is keeping the characteristic of the Jomon language considerably. So, if the above conjecture is proper, it is certain the Ainu's language and the Emisi's language have the characteristic of the Jomon language. Moreover, it seems the Japanese language also was born of the Jomon language. And, if we can find out the words looking like Ainu's words into Japanese words, by any chance, it may be the remains of the Jomon language. Thereupon, it thinks to find out some Jomon words into the Japanese words. However, before that work, it needs to compare the Japanese language and the Ainu's language and also the Korean language from the viewpoint of linguistics simply. It is stated in the following simply. Today, it is said Japanese and the Ainu's language both belong to the agglutinative language, having nearly same word order in the subject, the object and the verb or other. And, this also can be applied to the Altaic Korean language. However, according to the recent study, we have the characteristic brain different from the Korean people. It is because we cultivate certain characteristic function of the brain, with using Japanese language especially in the infant period. Even if it is foreign people, it brings the same result if it uses Japanese language in the infant period. But, this detailed explanation is stated in the next knot. Anyhow, if above explanation of brain is right, it is certain the Korean language is different from at least the Japanese language fundamentally. It is because Korean people are to have the characteristic of our brain if Korean language is the same kind as our language. By the way, it seems the words for the religion and so on are the basic words at every language. Therefore, it doesn't seem the words like that are changed by the trend of the times so easily. Thereupon, to make clear the relationship of Japanese language and Jomon Language and Ainu's language, it thinks to find out the Japanese words like that having the similar meaning and pronunciation to the Ainu's words. So, the Japanese words to refer to in the beginning are "mo-iwa" often seen as the name of mountain. As a matter of fact, the "mo-iwa" means the little mountain like the circular mound in the Ainu's language. And, it is said this "mo-iwa" is the holy mountain for Ainu. Moreover, the recognition like that also was seen among the olden Japanese people. For example, the shrine keeping the old form have the small mountain called the "Shin-tai-zan" for the god behind oneself. (The "Shin-tai-zan" is written like the god-body-mountain with the Chinese characters. And, it means the mountain the god or goddess lives in). In Hokkaido, there are the several mountains called the Mount "Mo-iwa". It is said Japanese people followed the way Ainu calls the mountain like that the mo-iwa. Moreover, in the northeast area of Honshu(the largest island in Japan), there are the several small mountains called the Mount "Mo-ya". It is said these mountains once were worshipped as the holy mountain from the Japanese people. So, since the "mo-iwa" has the common points with the "mo-ya" at the meaning and pronunciation or other, it seems the "mo-iwa" in Ainu's words was Japanized like the "mo-ya" as time goes on. In passing, the island called Honshu lies at most 15 miles south of Hokkaido. Then, there is the Mount Miwa as the den of the god called Oo-mono-nusi in Nara prefecture. It is said the Oo-mono-nusi is the god of Izumo. And, it seems the gods and goddesses of the Izumo were worshiped from the Emisi having considerably the blood of Jomon people because it seems the many of them were worshiped since Jomon period. If so, there is strong possibility the "Mi-wa" also originally is the "mo-iwa". In connection with the thing, there is possibility the gods and goddesses were changed of the character and name a little as a time in the reason of something though the gods and goddesses originally are to have been the symbol of concrete phenomenon. Now, it thinks about the "Mo-iwa" a little more. So, as for the part of "iwa" of "Mo-iwa", it means the rock or small mountain in both Japanese words and the Ainu's words. And, as it stated before, Mo-iwa has the point in common in the religious meaning and pronunciation in both Japanese language and Ainu's language. In other words, it is that this is the evidence that Mo-iwa and Mo-ya and Mi-wa all are the remains of Jomon language. By the way, some spiritual mediums called the "Itako" are in the Aomori prefecture situated to the northernmost area of Honshu. As a matter of fact, the "Itako" originally is the words the verb to pronounce like "i-tak" in Ainu's language was Japanized, was nominalized. The "i-tak" originally means the telling. And, at its undercurrent, there is the meaning to make the spirits materialize as person or creature or substance to this world with telling. In passing, in this case, the "i" is the prefix, and the "tak" is the verb meaning the telling. In other words, it can say the "Itako" in Japanese words was born because of the mixture of Yayoi culture and Jomon culture and also because of the evolution of Japanese culture. However, once, there were the persons insisting that the similar words in the Japanese language and the Ainu's language are the evidence the Ainu imitated Japanese words. But, it is complete mistake, because it can notice many of the words like that are composed of the more fundamental elements of Ainu's words, like the "i" and "tak" if it examines Ainu's words carefully. So, today, the old recognition to Ainu's words like that is about to disappear. By the way, since the recognition without the consistency makes oneself believe one's misunderstanding to be right, the recognition like that makes one's mind degenerate. Especially, the mistaken belief a excellent person like Ptolemy constructed by the detailed logic leads not only the said person but also other persons and society to the great illusion. This is serious problem for us. Therefore, at least the persons to look for the truth have to be aware of the fact there always is this problem at the undercurrent of thinking. Of course, it is out of the question to disturb the truth intentionally for one's benefit and for one's narrow belief. Even if it includes the truth difficult to accept, a truth is truth. It is that the proper recognition is the footing of proper behavior. By the way, the genital part of woman was worshipped as the symbol of the good harvest or reproduction from the ancient people as it is guessed also from the clay dolls of Jomon period. And, in connection with the thing, there is one episode about Susa-nho-o in Japanese myth. It is the next story. One day, Susa-nho-o requests the foods to the goddess called Oo-ketu-hime. Thereupon, she spat out the foods from one's mouth and so on in the kitchen, gave Susa-nho-o these foods. But Susa-nho-o is possessed to the very anger when noticing to such process of cooking. He has killed her in one's sword in spite of oneself. Hereupon, strangely the various grains spring from her genital area and so on. It roughly was the story like that. In passing, the "ketu" nearly means the hip in Japanese language though it rather changed to vulgar words today. As it stated before, the part of genitalia a woman has was worshiped as the holy symbol of good harvest by the ancient people. It is called the "hoto" in the ancient Japanese language. On the other hand, in the Ainu's language, it is called the "ho". To all appearances, the "hoto" is in the very close relationship with the "ho" at the meaning and pronunciation. If so, it is easy to imagine the "ho" easily was changed to the "hot", then changed to the "hoto". By any chance, the goddess "Miho-tu-hime" may have been originally Mi-ho-hime. It is because the "Mi" in this case is the prefix expressing the respect in Japanese words. In passing, the "hime" means princess in Japanese language. If it thinks the history of the formation of the words of "Mi-ho-hime", it seems the words of "Mi" and the words of "hime" took the place of the old words later. Or, it may be the people of Yamato added the words of "Mi" and words of "hime" to the original name of this goddess. Anyhow, the "Miho-tu-hime" is the goddess of Izumo family. If so, there is possibility this goddess is very old goddess worshiped from Jomon period. And, if this goddess originally was called Mi-ho, there is the strong possibility this goddess seeming to be related to the sea also was the goddess of the good harvest originally. Anyhow, this also is the evidence it can find out of Japanese language the words similar to Ainu's language easily. And, if so, as it stated before, it almost is certain the Jomon language evolved to the ancient Japanese language if it considers our brain's characteristic and the relationship of the Jomon language and the Ainu's language. As for the relationship of our brain's characteristic and Jomo language, it is stated at the later knot detailedly.
NEXT PAGE			In passing, it can understand the several names of Japanese gods and goddesses with the Ainu's language because the Japanese language is based on the Jomon language. The god's name to understand in the Ainu's language is stated in other knot. And, it is that the gods and goddesses like that are the existence like the footing of the Japanese gods and goddesses. Therefore, it makes us feel there is the deep relationship of the present Japanese people and the Jomon culture. In other words, the Jomon culture is living in our heart even now. If so, why would the Jomon culture have survived into Japanese culture? As a matter of fact, it is related to the especial characteristic of our brain. This explanation is stated at the next knot.
