	2. The fundamental understanding to Japanese culture. 2-2. About Japanese language.
	The culture is based on the language, and is one of the important elements composing the conception of peoples. In other words, considering the language is very important to examine the formation of peoples. Therefore, the process of the formation of Japanese peoples closely is related to the formation of Japanese-language. The following reasoning is tried with the viewpoint like that. The things first to be considered here are the area Jomon people were living in. Since it already is the well-known thing that the old type Mongoloid had lived in the area of the present China in old times, there is strong possibility the Jomon people also had lived in the Asian Continent. In other words, it seems that Jomon people lived not only in Japanese Islands but also in at least Korean peninsula in old times. However, since Korean peninsula is adjacent to Asian continent, it seems that they were assimilated by the new Mongoloid rapidly. In other words, it seems that the old type Mongoloid in the continent almost disappeared at earlier times than the last term of Jomon period because of the prosperity of the new Mongoloid. So, they accepted the new Mongoloid blood and also culture, and became the new Mongoloid who speak with Altaic language, soon. It seems to be natural that the language of the old type Mongoloid came to not be used in the Korean peninsula nearly. But, it is difficult to think that the language of old type Mongoloid was lost there completely. It is because there was the country called Kaja in the southernmost part of the Korean peninsula in fourth Century. 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 that the Kaja was related to the ancient Japan deeply. And, it is said that 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. Furthermore, it can't assert that the people in the Kaja weren't the same kind as the Wha if above-mentioned conjecture about the formation of Wha is proper. If so, it also is possible to think that the ancient Japanese language was used in Kaja. But, this is mere conjecture for the moment. In passing, as for the Yamato's insistence about the Kaja, it is the problem at the far ancient time. Since it seems that it already was solved by the history, it isn't the now problem persistently. Here it returns to the main theme. It seems that, in those days, the language environment in the Japanese Islands in Jomon period was different from the continent and Korean Peninsula considerably. It is because the people coming to Japanese Islands from the continent still were obliged to use the Jomon language because of the circumstances mentioned before. Even if the language of continent was used, it seems that it was used complementarily as the imported language persistently as the Japanesque English language to be used in present Japan is so. It seems that the Sea of Japan between the Japanese Islands and the continent produced the difference like that. However, when the culture of the new Mongoloid in the continent became superior than Jomon culture, the habitants in the Japanese Islands started to accept the culture of the continent for their survival. And, it seems that Jomon language also started to change because of the circumstances like that. In other words, the people in Japanese Islands must have incorporated the Altaic words and intonations and so on into Jomon language aggressively because Altaic language makes them feel Altaic culture is high grade. The thing can be understood easily if it sees the Japanesque English language spreading on present Japan. Probably it is supposed the Jomon language was exposed to the change rapid more than today's Japan. And, it seems that the social environment like that changed the Jomon language to the ancient Japanese language. However, what kind of feature would the Jomon language as one of the old type Mongoloid's language have? Would it be possible to find out the trace of the Jomon language from today's Japanese language? Today, it is said that the people called Ainu living mainly in Hokkaido are the old type Mongoloid. In passing, 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 two Chinese characters expressing the meaning like the uncivilized or violent people and so on in Japanese language. On the other hand, in more old times, that is, Nara era and Heian era, the words composed of these Chinese characters were pronounced like the "Emishi" or "Ebisu", and so on, not like Ezo. And, at that time, the "Emishi" 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, "Emishi" wasn't composed of above Chinese Characters in the older times. It was composed of the three Chinese characters at edited Nihon-shoki later slightly than Kojiki. And, Nihon-shoki described "Emishi" as the strong barbarians pointing the swords to Yamato. Since Nihon-shoki edited by Yamato is saying so, the Emishi must have been the strong enemy for Yamato surely. Anyhow, it is said that this is the oldest "Emishi" to be seen into the books issued in ancient time. However, the "Emishi" composed of the three Chinese characters expressing the pronunciation comes to get composed of the Two Chinese characters to express the meaning, soon. And, as it stated before, the words of "Emishi" came to be used to express the rebellious people of the northeast area. Then, the two Chinese characters expressing Emishi were pronounced like the "Ezo", to express the ancestor of Ainu later. Anyhow, Nihon-shoki, Kojiki and the above-mentioned historical process make us feel the blood relationship of the Jomon people and Emishi and Ezo(Ainu). And, the thing also can be guessed from the fact that the bones of the Jomon people have the feature of bone of Ainu. So, it seems that the Emishi had the old type Mongoloid's blood and custom considerably though as for their life style and so on, it seems that it was like Yayoi culture. And, it seems that Emishi were similar to Ezo at least as for culture though it seems the people in those days called Emishi had more blood of Yayoi people than the Ezo. 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. Thereupon, when it turns the eyes to 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 this description, they, being in the married relationship for the long time, had been given the terrible threat and harm from the vast snake having the eight heads day after day. Their daughters almost had been eaten by that horrible 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. When Susa-nho-o was about to pass by Asi-naduti's home, They must have stroked his arms and legs desperately, while asking him to rescue them. So, it seems that "Te-naduti" and "Asi-naduti", as a matter of fact, are the noun coming out of "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 that it is the name symbolizing the deed of respect for Susa-nho-o in this case. And, it seems that "Asi-naduti" and "Te-naduti" were the imaginary persons as the symbol of the Yayoi people living in Kinai and considerably having the blood of Jomon. In passing, the Kinai is the area composed of Nara, Kyoto, Osaka and the surrounding countryside, and so on. Then, when it reads the geography book which is said to be oldest in China, it can find out the description to be guessed to be referring to Japanese Islands, in knot named as the overseas east boundary. And, that description says there is the country of the hairy people in the northeast area of that land. Furthermore, in the Heian period in Japan, the word of "Emishi" also was composed of the Chinese characters which means 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 Emishi 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. And, above thing also is guessed from the episode of the vast snake having eight heads mentioned before. Since 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, the above reasoning seems to be proper. However, it is supposed that the people called Emishi were obliged to keep the strong married relationship with the people who have the characteristic of the Jomon people more than them as Yamato's supremacy expands. It was because they, to defend oneself from Yamato and to keep one's culture, needed the strong alliance with people like Jomon people. So, they became being having the characteristic of the Jomon people more than before. It can say that they chosen the converse political judgement, against the people who became like the new Mongoloid increasingly with depending on the Yamato's power. So, it is supposed that the Chinese Characters meaning the Emishi were used to express the people like Ezo at a later date. Anyhow, Emishi and Ezo both are emitting the smell of Jomon culture strongly. If so, it has to think that they have the point common in the culture and blood, as it thought before. And, the language is the footing of culture in at least the human society. In that reason, it also has to think that the Jomon language and the Ainu's language, or the Jomon language and the Emishi's language are in the very close relationship. Needless to say, the materials able to know the Jomon language and Emishi's language are nowhere. However, the culture of Ainu almost didn't change for long. If so, it doesn't seem that their language also is so different from their ancient language, that is, Jomon language. And, since it seems that Japanese language derives from Jomon language, it seems to be possible to find out the trace of Jomon language with finding out the Ainu's words into Japanese words. Thereupon, it looked for that trace, that is, the Ainu's words into Japanese words. In passing, today, it is said that Japanese language 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 is 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 next knot. Anyway, it is certain the Korean language is different from at least the Japanese language fundamentally if it considers the formation of the Japanese peoples and the formation of Japanese language which were stated until now. It is because Korean people are supposed to have the characteristic of our brain if Korean language is the same kind as our language. By the way, it seems that the words for the religion and so on are the basic words at every language. Therefore, it doesn't seem that the words like that are changed easily with the passage of time. 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" to be often used 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 Ainu's gods or goddess lives in. Furthermore, 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" behind its shrine for the god or goddess. (The "Shin-tai-zan" is written like the god-body-mountain with the Chinese characters.). In Hokkaido, there are the several mountains called the Mount "Mo-iwa". It is said that Japanese people followed the way Ainu calls the mountain like that the mo-iwa. Furthermore, 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 that 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 became Japanesque 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. Needless to say, Oo-mono-nusi is the god of Izumo. And, it seems that the gods and goddesses of the Izumo were worshiped from the Emisi having the deep blood relationship with Jomon people. If so, there is strong possibility the many of them were worshiped since Jomon period. And if so, it has to think there is strong possibility the "Mi-wa" also originally is the "mo-iwa". Then, 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 would have to think that those things are the evidence that Mo-iwa and Mo-ya and Mi-wa all are the remains of Jomon language. In connection with the thing, the gods and goddesses often were changed of the character and name in the human convenience though the gods and goddesses originally are to have been the symbol of concrete phenomenon. Then, it can find out its trace into Kojiki and Nihon-shoki. As for the concrete examples, it is stated in detail later. By the way, at least in 20th century, some spiritual mediums called the "Itako" lived in the Aomori prefecture situated to the northernmost area of Honshu. As a matter of fact, this "Itako" originally is the verb of the Ainu's word to be pronounced "i-tak". It is said that it was nominalized, became "Itako" Japanese people use. The "i-tak" originally means the telling in the Ainu's language. 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 that 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. In connection with above thing, there is one thing to say. That is that the recognition without the consistency makes one's mind degenerate because the recognition like that makes oneself believe one's misunderstanding to be right. 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, truth is truth, because it is that the proper recognition is the footing of proper behavior. >By the way, at the Japanese Islands in ancient times, 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 the god called 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(big-hip-princess). Thereupon, she spat out the foods from one's mouth, and so on in the kitchen, tried to give Susa-nho-o these foods. But Susa-nho-o is possessed to the intense 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. The outline of the story was nearly like that. In passing, the "ketu" nearly means the hip in Japanese language though it rather changed to vulgar words today. Anyhow, it seems that this story is describing the ancient faith very well. So, the pronunciation of genitalia of a woman is 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. Probably, it seems that the "mi" first was added to express the respecting the "hoto". In passing, the "hime" means princess in Japanese language. But, if it considers the history of the formation of the words of "Mi-ho-hime", it seems the words of "Mi" and the words of "hime" substituted for the old words later. If above reasoning is proper, "Miho-tu-hime" to be said to be related to the sea may have been originally the symbol of multi childbirth, or the symbol of the good harvest like Oo-ketu-hime. 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 because it seems that Izumo family is in the blood relationship with Emishi who are said to be in the blood relationship with Jomon people deeply. 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 in detail later. In passing, it can understand the several names of Japanese gods and goddesses with the Ainu's 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. And, it seems to suggest there is the deep relationship of the present Japanese people and the Jomon culture. In other words, it seems that 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. Its explanation is stated at the next knot.
