Around a year ago, I read a history of Japan. It was so convoluted that I am not sure I know more than I did before reading it.
Well I do remember that the first Japanese came from Korea. Wait, I forgot about the Ainu.
looks like the homework i used hand in back in high school
If China was writing 5000 years ago, it would seem reasonable to assume some of that capability made it to Japan, long ago.
Them chicken scratches aint writin.
They probably copied it from the the Phoenicians.
Still... could be!
