Hey Lee,
Wow! This is the most reasonable. balanced account of the ancient history of Japan
that I've encountered.
My studies so far have been from three sources:
* the modern Japanese I know, mostly highly educated high-tech folks
whose beliefs all would fall under Theory Two
* the family of a rather scholarly British missionary couple who spent
many years in Korea and were my next-door neighbors as a child in
California and would be Theory Three folks
* a Nisei family of farmers who came to California in the 19th
century. Four members of this family lived/hid out with us
throughout the period of internment during War Two. These folks were
totally Americanized, and knew little about Japanese history, but
studied Japanese history during the War and presented me with many
conflicting views - I was a child at the time, but very fond of the
stories that Fred and Mollie would tell me about Japanese myths.
Thanks so much for passing this along. Looking forward to more pictures of Jomon
work.
Roger
I am reminded of my tendencies to over-generalize from too little data. As Oliver
Wendell Holmes said: "All generalizations are false, including this one."

The time frame involved here is amazing!
Japanese pottery at 10000BC.
I'm taking my first art history class this term, History of China. Our
class started off with coiled pottery from 5000BC. Our first wheel
produced pottery came into picture around 2500BC, and is amazing. Kind of
puts me in my place.
