  • This is so fascinating. I knew Korea had cultural influence on Japan but to say that Japanese are "Koreans" or vice-versa, I don't know..

  • who says japanese are koreans?

  • This month, 2 of Baekje ryoal family descendants from the Japanese islands visited Korea for the worship of one of Baekje emperors, their ancestor.

  • Thank you for another interesting video. History has always belonged to the victors, but hopefully society has advanced enough that truth is valuable enough to stand on its on merit. I feel a closer bond and curiosity about Chinese and Japanese culture/people from your videos because it shows how much our cultures have intermingled in the past. Don't let the anger and hatred expressed by others deter you from sharing your knowledge, even if it's misunderstood. Love and peace.

  • Kimono is a copy of Chinese traditional clothing called Hanfu.and slight influences from the Korean hanbok Katana = bent Korean sword

    Samurai armour=Chinese influenced armour, with spikes attached to helmut

    Japanese architecture= China architecture+Korean Architecture

  • @richardhaw nope, but shedding the truth that Korea did help Japan early on. everybody knows that the US started as 13 colonies of great britain. That's how the US got its start. Nobody in Korea is saying that Japan is an extension of Korea right now. written records about the relations of Korea and Japan are plentiful. The japanese have been advertising themselves as purely indigenous developed culture which is inaccurate.

  • @Cheon1Son What I am wondering about this is are the Japanese royals direct descendants of Baekje because a branch of Baekje royalty married into the indigenous ruling family or are the Baekje royalty the ones that set up the Japanese state originallyi.e. became japanese royalty?

  • @richardhaw

    Almost three centuries later, Niigasa’s biography as recorded in the Shoku nihongi (Chronicles of Japan, Continued) also stresses her family’s relationship with the Baekje royal family since the entries around the time of her death in 790 state that her ancestors were the “descendants of Crown Prince Sunta, son of King Muryeong.”

  • british royals have foreign blood in them, does that mean that they are french or russian?

    is this an example of culture masturbation complex?

  • @JKOO2008 Yeah Buddhism was the greatest gift you gave to the Japanese, up until you Koreans let Christian Fundies take over and destroy Korean Buddhist temples like a bunch of dumbass Klansmen.

  • @JKOO2008 Massive Korean migrated to the islands from Korea over the span of a millennia, bringing farming technology and culture. There maybe some influx of people from other part of the world, but majority of japanese can trace its ancestors to the migrants from the peninsular.

  • Japanese are not Korean but Korea helped Japan to be strong and be civilized

  • In korean language,There are two type's word. first are chinese charactered word, and the others are pure korean pronounced word. If you can know about the later, you could know there are quite many words are common to japanese one
