This is the first book-length study of the Yayoi and Kofun periods
of Japan (c.600 BC-AD 700), in which the introduction of rice
paddy-field farming from the Korean peninsula ignited the rapid
development of social complexity and hierarchy that culminated with
the formation of the ancient Japanese state. The author traces the
historical trajectory of the Yayoi and Kofun periods by employing
cutting-edge sociological, anthropological and archaeological
theories and methods. The book reveals a fascinating process
through which sophisticated hunter-gatherer communities in an
archipelago on the eastern fringe of the Eurasian continent were
transformed materially and symbolically into a state.
