Dogs of Japan
Nov 13, 2024
The bond between humans and dogs in Japan is as old as the nation itself. Archaeological findings reveal that even in the Jōmon period (c. 14,500–c. 500 BCE), dogs were buried with the same reverence as humans, highlighting their esteemed status in early Japanese society. This deep-rooted connection has only grown stronger over time, with dogs featuring prominently in Japanese art, literature, and daily life.
