The Jomon Period: Japan’s earliest settlers

The Jomon period, spanning from 14,000 BCE to 300 BCE, marks the origins of Japan’s earliest settlers. Known for their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, the Jomon people lived in small, egalitarian communities, relying on fishing, foraging, and hunting. They developed intricate pottery, especially their famous cord-marked designs, and created *dogu* figurines, likely used in spiritual rituals. Jomon society was highly innovative, utilizing stone tools, woven textiles, and early forms of plant cultivation. Though the Jomon period declined with the rise of the Yayoi culture, its legacy in pottery, technology, and spirituality remains influential in Japanese history.
