...Explore the fascinating connections between Japan and Korea which began 2400 years ago in a movement of people through the Korean Peninsula which brought rice farming technology to Japan. These peoples mixed with the hunter gatherers of Japan and became the Japanese race of today. For the past 1500 years, Japan and Korea have conducted cultural exchanges, trade, political contact, and military confrontations, all of which underlie their relations today. We examine this fascinating relationship with an eye to travelling to both countries.
