ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about Japanese Race and its Language. The suggestion is that the conquerors of the Japanese islands and the founders of the Japanese language and mythology were of the Turano-African type. That these invaders intermarried with a mixed short race, and that the new dominating Japanese race maintained and propagated their dialect of the language and their sect of the religion, and displaced the pure natives. It is evident from what the chapter have said that it is difficult to obtain a complete knowledge of the written language of Japan in its Chinese form. The son of the Emperor Ojin learned to read Chinese works, and henceforward the Chinese language and literature seem to have been introduced into Japan. Indeed it is impossible to speculate on what might have been the development of Japan and in what direction that development would have preceded had never come under the influence of the Chinese language, literature, religion, and artistic principles.
