Overview編集

Yamato nationality is the name given to a group of people who have lived in the Japanese archipelago since before the Jomon period and who belonged to the Yamato Royalty (Yamato Imperial Court), which was formed during the Yayoi period, primarily from people based in Yamato (southeast of the Nara Basin).


In the late Yayoi period, as the Yamato kingdom expanded its power, it expanded its territory, assimilated neighboring countries and peoples (Hayato, Emishi, etc), and integrated with Han nationality and migrant peoples from the East Asia continent. "Yamato" which had been a regional name, became a broad designation for Japan and also became an ethnic name.
