Japanese origin 4
Yayoi period middle.(B.C.100~A.D.100)
The use of the ironware was popularized rapidly. Iron was used for utilities such as a farm implement, a tool and a weapon. All the iron raw material was imported from the Korean Peninsula. Then, finished goods were made in Japan. But, a stone implement should notice that it used at the same time, too. Probably, ironware was valuable articles, and many people might not have been able to have it. The people who had ironware reclaimed land easily. Then, they might have owned much agricultural land. An agricultural production rose greatly. The difference in rich and poor was formed, and then the difference in social position was formed as that result. And, quarrels over the land and the wealth increased, too. They dig a moat around the village. This is known as Kango-Syuraku. Or, they built a village on the hill. These aimed at the defense. Then, they looked for a strong weapon, too.
I was surprised at the fact that Korea traded with Japan in this age. Did they have high navigation and the technology of the shipbuilding? What did a Japanese exchange for the iron?
