Seven episodes in and we finally have conclusive proof of rice in Japan. This episode we take a look at the start of the Yayoi period, when rice came to Japan and brought with it the start of a new culture, the Yayoi culture.

This episode largely deals with the start of the Yayoi and much of the material culture that they brought with them, merging continental and insular styles. This includes not only the distinctive pottery, but also their architecture and even settlement styles. This would all merge and eventually become its own thing.
