Japanese language institutes in Delhi teach and tell you everything about Japan like its culture, past and present. They brief you about the J?mon culture. For instance, you will learn that for years certain scholars have claimed that the bearers of the J?mon culture were ancestors of the Ainu, an indigenous people of northern Japan. Scientific investigation of the bones of J?mon people carried out since the beginning of the 20th century, however, has disproved this theory. The J?mon people might be called proto-Japanese, and they were spread throughout the archipelago. Despite certain variations in character arising from differences in period or place, they seem to have constituted a single ethnic stock with more or less consistent characteristics. The present Japanese people were produced by an admixture of certain strains from the Asian continent and from the South Pacific, together with adaptations made in accordance with environmental changes. There is evidence to suggest that people moved eastward across Siberia and entered Japan via Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido. Nothing can yet be proved concerning their relationship with the people of the Pre-Ceramic period, but it cannot be asserted that they were entirely unrelated.

The students of Japanese language are also briefed on the Yayoi period (c. 300 bce–c. 250 ce). The new Yayoi culture that arose in Kyushu, while the J?mon culture was still undergoing development elsewhere, spread gradually eastward, overwhelming the J?mon culture as it went, until it reached the northern districts of Honshu (the largest island of Japan). The name Yayoi derives from the name of the district in Tokyo where, in 1884, the unearthing of pottery of this type first drew the attention of scholars. Yayoi pottery was fired at higher temperatures than J?mon pottery and was turned on wheels. It is distinguished partly by this marked advance in technique and partly by an absence of the proliferating decoration that characterized J?mon pottery. It developed, in short, as pottery for practical use. It is accompanied by metal objects and is associated with the wet (i.e., irrigated) cultivation of rice, thought to have begun around the end of the Late J?mon period. Culturally, the Yayoi represents a notable advance over the J?mon period and is believed to have lasted for some five or six centuries, from about the 3rd century bce to the 2nd or 3rd century ce.
