001-Prayer of the Jōmon Era / Image of Japan circa 10,000 BCE, The Wonder of the Jomon Era
— Japanese Civilization as the Origin of Humanity —
Japan is home to an ancient civilization the world has yet to fully recognize: the Jomon Era.
Spanning from approximately 14,000 BCE to 300 BCE, it endured for over ten thousand years—an extraordinary span in human history. Remarkably, archaeological evidence shows almost no signs of large-scale warfare. Instead, the Jomon people lived in deep harmony with nature.
The history of the Japanese archipelago unfolds through three major phases. During the Paleolithic Age (c. 38,000–14,000 BCE), people lived by hunting and gathering, developing stone tools and communal life. This was followed by the Jomon Era, when permanent settlements, pottery, and a profound spiritual culture emerged—one that did not separate humanity from nature. Later, the Yayoi Period (c. 300 BCE–300 CE) introduced agriculture and metal tools, shaping more complex societies.
Within this flow, the Jomon Era represents not merely the beginning of civilization, but a form of spiritual completion. Nature was not something to dominate, but something to live with. Mountains, forests, rivers, seas, animals, plants, and the earth itself were believed to possess life and spirit—anticipating modern sustainability.
Jomon pottery and clay figurines were not simple decoration. Their spirals and flowing forms expressed cycles of life, cosmic rhythm, and silent prayer. Wisdom was conveyed through sensation and intuition rather than words. Women are believed to have played central spiritual roles, mediating between nature, the unseen world, and the community through resonance rather than power.
In a modern world exhausted by competition and division, the Jomon spirit offers a quiet message:
Do not take.
Do not rush.
Do not compare.
Live in harmony.
The Jomon Era is not a relic of the past.
It is a living memory—an origin still breathing within humanity.
