''Prehistoric Japan'' is a book written by Neil Gordon Munro and published in 1908. It is a comprehensive study of the prehistoric period in Japan, covering the period from the earliest known human settlements up until the arrival of the first historical records in the 8th century AD. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of prehistoric Japanese culture, such as the development of agriculture, the emergence of metalworking, and the evolution of social structures.The author draws on a wide range of archaeological and historical sources to paint a detailed picture of prehistoric Japan, including pottery, tools, and other artifacts found at archaeological sites throughout the country. Munro also examines the cultural and religious practices of prehistoric Japanese societies, including their beliefs in animism, shamanism, and ancestor worship.Throughout the book, Munro emphasizes the importance of understanding prehistoric Japan as a distinct cultural and historical entity, rather than simply as a precursor to modern Japanese society. He argues that by studying the prehistoric period, we can gain a deeper understanding of the origins of Japanese culture and society, as well as the broader cultural and historical contexts in which they developed.Overall, ''Prehistoric Japan'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of Japan, offering a detailed and insightful look at the people, cultures, and societies that shaped this fascinating period of Japanese history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
