Excerpt from Japan, Its History Arts and Literature, Vol. 8: Keramic Art Civilisation was brought to Japan by a Mongoloid invasion or immigration at a date which historians have hitherto failed to fix with any accuracy, but which was certainly several centuries probably six or seven - before the Christian era. The new-comers did not represent an advanced stage Of material prog ress. They knew nothing of iron, and used only bronze implements, and their keramic successes were confined to the production of rude, hand-made pot tery, scarcely superior to that of the aborigines men tioned above. What is known of these earliest Mongoloid invaders has been gathered from the con tents of the mounds in which they buried their dead. Following them at an interval of probably five cen turies it is still necessary to avoid explicitness came another tide of Mongoloid invaders, who brought with them a knowledge of iron-smelting and of the potter's wheel, and whose ideas Of form and decoration indicated a much higher grade of civ ilisation than that of their predecessors. The story of these second comers does not exist in the pages of history. It is told only by the dolmens which they constructed for purposes of interment, and as to the contents of those dolmens mention need not be made here of anything but pottery.
