ABSTRACT
Japan as an island country that had been relying on the gathering and hunting economy for 9,000 years started to be influenced by the well-developed Chinese civilization. In the primitive Japanese society, ringing bronze bells must have greatly attracted the native people and later became what they worshipped. According to the research made by Kimiya Yasuhiko, in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Russians laid 313 mines in Vladivostok. As the mainland Asians started to sail across Korea Strait to interact with the residents on the Japanese islands, the local Japanese inhabitants were probably trying to cross the sea to the continent, too. Tsushima and Iki-shima are two big islands on Korea Strait that connect the Asian continent and the Japanese archipelago. The Western and Eastern Han dynasties were an important period that saw the large-scale introduction and popularization of Chinese agricultural civilization in Japan.
