built 633 days ago
Ancient Japan is a term used for the early periods of Japanese history. Depending on the historian, it includes or excludes the Japanese Paleolithic (Stone Age, 100,000 BC – 10,000 BC), as well as the Jōmon (10,000 BC – 300 BC) and Yayoi (900 BC – AD 300) periods, which are named after the place near Tokyo where the first sherds of pottery from this time period were found, and the Kofun (c AD 250–538) period, named after the giant tumulus royal tombs of the period.

The main mode in Ancient Japan, called Emperor's Adventure, begins in 8,500 BC and winds its way through twelve Japanese dynasties spanning 60 different Mahjong boards. As players clear each board, they'll unlock words of wisdom like "Fall down seven times, get up eight" and "The heart that loves is always young." Clearing a dynasty unlocks new background art and ancient treasure.

Prince Shotoku was a prince in ancient Japan. His real name was "Umayato" which means "door of stable." He was given that name because his mother, Empress Anahobeno-hashinohito, gave birth to him in front of the stable door... his name. He was an intelligent person since he was child. He could listen to what ten people were saying, all speaking at once.
