Topic: About Cultural transition between JOMON and YAYOI in Japan

After correcting

It is said that the period of JOMON began at 8,000 B.C.E. BC. and continued until around 300 to 200 BC. In this period, native Japanese lived with same species together as a tribe and learned started to develop their cultural action. For example they cultivated paddy to grow rice, they made stone tools or, clay pottery, and they began to hunt animals and fishes. But, they hadn’t had developed social class yet in this period.

After that Later, in the new period called “YAYOI Period”, which continued around the 3rd century BC. Personally, I think the specific differences between JOMON and YAYOI are whether they have social stratification or not and whether they touch other region or not. In this period, there was a queen called “Himiko”. and It is said that she sent envoys to China and they brought China’s culture to Japan. So, written Japanese language today has similar Chinese characters such as known as 'Kanji'.
today Japan has the Japanese written language that is similar to Chinese one such as “Kanji”.
