The most impressive evidence I have seen concerning the Jomon origins of the Japanese were the terre cotta figures of Jomon dancers put on exhibit at the Smithsonian several years back. I know individuals who look exactly like them.
Do not be misled by the Japanese armor of the Middle Ages. It clearly has a Mongol design.
