Despite its status as an island, ancient Japan was in fact influenced by many other societies and cultures as it developed. For instance, at the start of the Common Era (around the time of Christ in the West), Mongol invasions brought iron and bronze into Japan. Both before and after this significant influence, Chinese ideas and customs immigrated into the Japanese islands, which powerfully shaped ancient Japan's government and society in numerous ways.
Japan opened its society and culture to Western influences, while China continued to resist any outside influence on its customs and beliefs.

Japan was isolated from Europe
Japan's geography as an island nation has influenced its isolated development, leading to unique cultural traditions and practices. The mountainous terrain has led to limited arable land, encouraging a focus on efficient land use and agriculture. Additionally, Japan's location on the Pacific Ring of Fire has exposed it to natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis, influencing architectural styles and disaster preparedness in Japanese society.
