1 What factors influenced the development of early Japan? Notes #31

2 Japan is an archipelago (a chain of islands) in the Pacific Ocean, near the mainland of Asia.

3 Japan has an irregular coastline, which has many natural harbors for Japan, and was where many early people lived.

4 Because Japan is located near the mainland of Asia, early Japan experienced a great deal of cultural diffusion with other Asian cultures.

5 Two cultures that most influenced the development of early Japan were Chinese and Korean.

6 For example, Japan was introduced to Buddhism, Confucianism, calligraphy, martial arts, and tea by the Chinese and Koreans.

7 Despite borrowing much from other cultures, early Japan also maintained a unique individual culture.

8 For example, many early Japanese practiced both Buddhism (from China) and their own religion of Shinto.
