Another thing Josh and I picked up during our travel back into the past, is that to overcome the adversities, technology was made. Without this technology, Japan may not what be what it is today. Many of the small villages were all centered near the sea thus making their main food source the ocean. We both carefully watched on how they would capture and claim their food. At first the Japanese people used petty spears made of wood that weren't very durable and had little to no effectiveness on catching the salmon that were brought in by the current. As time passed the Japanese people learned to make spear heads and fish hooks out of the bone from the boar and deer they caught. The Japanese people near the end of the Jomon period also learned how to make rice-paddy farms with the land they had. This is called terrace farming.
As their technology made it less time consuming to get necessary things to survive such as food, more time was created. The artisans of the villages often created depictions of people with clay and made ceramics. These ceramics were used from gathering water, containers, cooking food, masks, to burials. We learned that this meant they had a source of clay they could easily obtain and that they were evolving from just surviving and they learned to thrive and had a surplus of food. As their technology grew we learned that so did their culture as well.
