Culture of Japan

The culture of Japan has evolved greatly over the millennia, from the country's prehistoric Jоmon period, to its contemporary hybrid culture, which combines influences from Asia, Europe, and North America. The inhabitants of Japan experienced a long period of relative isolation from the outside world during the Tokugawa shogunate, until the arrival of "The Black Ships" and the Meiji period. Alongside the United Kingdom and United States, Japan is considered a cultural superpower.
