Hi, there! Moon-sensei here. I'm going to teach about random aspects of Japanese culture and history.
For the history, we'll go from the from the Jomon (10000 - 400 B.C.) to the Heian (794 - 1185) period.

The Jomon (縄文時代, Jōmon jidai) - The Jomon peoples were kind of like the early prehistoric civilizations we know of. These people used chipped stone tools, traps, and bows and were hunters, gatherers, and skillful coastal and deep-water fishermen. They practiced a rudimentary form of agriculture and lived in caves and later in groups of temporary shallow pit dwellings, leaving rich kitchen middens for modern anthropological study.
By the late Jomon period, a dramatic shift had taken place according to such studies. Initial cultivation had evolved into sophisticated rice-paddy farming and government control. Many other elements of Japanese culture also may date from this period and reflect a mingled migration from the northern Asian continent and the southern Pacific areas. Among these elements are Shinto mythology, marriage customs, architectural styles, and technological developments, such as lacquerware, textiles, metalworking, and glass making.

The Yayoi (弥生時代, Yayoi jidai) - The next cultural period, the Yayoi flourished between about 300 B.C. and A.D. 250 from southern Kyushu to northern Honshu. The earliest of these people, who are thought to have migrated from Korea to northern Kyushu, also used chipped stone tools.
Although the pottery of the Yayoi was more technologically advanced--produced on a potter's wheel--it was more simply decorated than Jomon ware. The Yayoi made bronze ceremonial nonfunctional bells, mirrors, and weapons and, by the first century A.D., iron agricultural tools and weapons. As the population increased and society became more complex, they wove cloth, lived in permanent farming villages, constructed buildings of wood and stone, accumulated wealth through landownership and the storage of grain, and developed distinct social classes. Their irrigated, wet-rice culture was similar to that of central and south China, requiring heavy inputs of human labor, which led to the development and eventual growth of a highly sedentary, agrarian society.

Culture is the social behavior and norms found in human societies. Culture is a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies.
