The history of Japan is not counted from any specific date. The settlement of the territories began about 40 thousand years ago, although, of course, there was no talk of any state then. The ancient Japanese lived in small communities of 20-30 people, hunting, fishing and gathering. About three centuries BC, rice-growing and blacksmithing technologies were brought to the islands from Korea and China. Agriculture meant a sedentary lifestyle, and rice cultivation, which required constant watering, led communities to move to river valleys. It was with the advent of agriculture that tribal unions began to unite in the likeness of small states. The first mentions of the states located on the territory of modern Japan appeared in the Chinese chronicles of the 1st century AD. Three dozen out of a hundred, which are mentioned in the historical chronicles of those years, established contacts with China, sending their embassies and tributes there.
