| The history of Japan probably started around 100,000 BC, when the earliest stone tool implements were found. According to the ancient Japan history following the last ice age, the rich ecosystem of the archipelago apparently fostered human development rather earlier than in other geographical areas, yielding the earliest polished stone tools, and to this date, the earliest known pottery in the world. The history of Japan is then featured by a passage of long periods of isolation and periods of radical, often revolutionary, influences from the rest of the world. The first era name in the history of Tokyo Japan was Taika, celebrating the revolutionary political changes following the great Taika reform. Although the practice of nengo was once interrupted in the latter half of the seventh century, it was re-adopted in 701 and has been used continuously ever since. |
