Nippon no rekishi (Japanese History) 1 (Shueisha Gakushu Manga)

[Machine Translation] The collection covers the Paleolithic Period, when the people who settled in the Japanese archipelago survived on stone tools alone; the Jomon Period, when people began to use earthenware; the Yayoi Period, when rice cultivation was widely introduced; and the Kofun Period, when the people of the Kofun Period, centered around the Great King, were engaged in cuneiform cultivation. In each period, various artifacts excavated from archaeological sites are used as clues to study the conditions of the time. Let's take a closer look at this mysterious era to find out what stories were told about the beginnings of the nation of Japan.
