Ancient History
Thursday, May 8, 2008 | | |With three-quarters the size of mountains, Japan was and is a land of deep forests and rich wood resources, both soft and hard wood. Excavations in 1996, the Sannai Maruyama-site revealed a structure of the massive use of tree trunks as pillars, and changed the whole image of architecture and society Neolithic (Jomon culture ) Japan. It is now clear that architecture sophisticated (and not only few cases) is under construction at least as early as 4500 bc, using the wood of the earth.
Although Japan has a pot of the world's longest history, food everyday vessels and containers used by the common people were mostly plain and sometimes lacquered wood into the 17th century. Wood almost any form was almost synonymous with life itself. It is not surprising there are so many techniques of woodworking and crafts and disciplines in Japan.
