 | | The Ainu, Koreans, and Japanese are believed to be derived from the paleo-Turkic peoples of the Tungusic-Altaic group. | | | While most Japanese live on the islands, some emigrated, predominantly to Hawaii, the west coast of the United States and Canada, Latin America (particularly, Brazil), and Russia, (particularly, Sakhalin and Primorsky Krai). | | | Most scholars believe Yayoi culture was brought to the Japanese islands by immigrants from the Korean peninsula and China. |

| | Japanese chieftains anxious to receive technology transfers from the Korean states were obliged to send troops to intervene in the peninsular wars on behalf of the donor government. | | | Until recently, the international academic community was divided between those who advocated the "horserider theory" and those who argued that the Japanese court (located in the Kinai) controlled the three southern Korean states of Kaya, Paekche, and Shilla between 350 and 562. | | | This article analyzes relations among the peoples of the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago between A.D. 350 and 700 from an archaeological perspective. |

| | One of the reasons why Koreans might oppose the name "Sea of Japan" could be that they think that this name implies "Japanese ownership" of this sea area. | | | By contrast, the "East Sea" is a subjective name proposed from a perspective centering on ROK and DPRK. | | | One of them, Adam J. Krusenstern, wrote in his diary of the voyage, "People also call this sea area the Sea of Korea, but because only a small part of this sea touches the Korean coast, it is better to name it the Sea of Japan." |

| | Keeping in account this "cultural indebtedness" of Japan, but also its opening to the West that dates back to the Meiji age and that became more marked after the end of World War II, it seems reasonable to ask how the Japanese view today's Asia. | | | These were the reasons why, by that time, the Japanese had been viewing the peoples of Asia with contempt, and they have kept on doing so more or less to the present day, well after the 1945 defeat. | | | Traditionally, in the Japanese subconscious, the Indian sub-continent has not been considered to be a part of Asia. |
