    Humans have lived in Japan for tens of thousands of years, but its recorded history began in the 1st century BCE when China first mentioned Japan. Contact with China and Korea in early CE brought profound changes like adopting Chinese writing, Buddhism, and art forms. The first steps at political unification occurred in the late 4th and early 5th centuries CE under the Yamato court, and a great civilization developed first at Nara in the 8th century then at Heian-kyō from the late 8th to late 12th century.

    Humans have occupied Japan for tens of thousands of years, but Japan’s

    recorded history begins only in the 1st century BCE, with mention in
    Chinese sources. Contact with China and Korea in the early centuries CE
    brought profound changes to Japan, including the Chinese writing system,
    Buddhism, and many artistic forms from the continent. The first steps at
    political unification of the country occurred in the late 4th and early 5th
    centuries CE under the Yamato court. A great civilization then developed
    first at Nara in the 8th century and then at Heian-kyō (now Kyōto) from the
    late 8th to the late 12th century. The seven centuries thereafter were a
    period of domination by military rulers culminating in near isolation from
    the outside world from the early 17th to the mid-19th century.
