Overview
Japanese culture (日本文化, nihon bunka), the culture of Japan, an island nation at the eastern end of the Eurasian continent, has changed through various periods, with elements originally created in Japan intertwined with those introduced from abroad, creating something uniquely Japanese.
Until the Edo period, there was little propagation outside Japan, but after the opening of Japan to the outside world at the end of the Edo period, it began to cross the sea.
