Japanese Ethnic Groups, a Brief History

Ancient Japan evolved from a hunter-gatherer society with close cultural and genealogical ties to both primitive Chinese and Korean clans.

Japanese culture was influenced by immigration from both the continent ... modern-day China and Korea ... as well as nearby pacific islands. Her history, though, is characterized by long periods of isolation from other parts of the world.

Ethnic groups are dominated by the Japanese (98.5%) followed by Korean and Chinese, each less than 1%.
