While it is unclear where sushi originally came from, it is widely accepted as a purely Japanese food item. Being an island nation, fish and other seafood is a big part of Japanese cuisine. Similarly, as a nation of rice farmers, this is the main staple in Japanese cuisine. Naturally, the two have come together in many forms, one of which is what you know as sushi. There will always be multiple versions of where things originated, but for an idea of the brief history of sushi, see this site: http://www.asianartmall.com/originsofsushi.htm
