| Research Abstract |
There were mobile fishermen and whalers between North Kyushu and Korea peninsula in the Jomon Age. When the Yayoi Culture, the first rice cultivation culture in the Japanese Islands, spread from the peninsula to Japan, they jointed the spreads. Their migration routes are supposed by their toggle harpoon heads discovered in archaeological sites. Along the Japan Sea they migrated as far as Hokkaido. Some of them also migrated to the Seto Sea area and reached the Middle Japan area via the tip of the Kii peninsula. In East Japan, however, the Yayoi farmers and fishermen met the aboriginal Jomon fishermen, and both Jomon and Yayoi peoples made new communities there. One character of the Japanese culture has been thought to be maritime, which was caused by these Yayoi and Jomon fishermen.
