nah not just a shitty government. a pretty fucked up culture that people in most countries would see as fascistic if they were forced to live under it and didn't grow up with it.
its obviously true that there are a ton of shitty things about japan. that doesnt mean that high and low is a bad movie, or that hokusai was a bad artist, or whatever. if you find a culture out there that doesnt have shitty elements please let me know because as far as im aware they don't exist and i am going to continue to enjoy art produced by those cultures because i don't want my life to be dour and joyless.
The Jomon were a diverse group of paleolithic peoples in Japan named for their use of corded pottery. I don't know of any evidence they were displaced in a fashion similar to modern colonialism - or even the conquests or mass migrations of antiquity.
Just to name one random example, the Swedes, Norwegians and Finns have historically been pretty awful to the indigenous Sami people of Lapland, suppressing their religion, language and culture

they internally subjugated the indigenous people there i think... the okinowans, the ainu, etc...
Alot of Japanese art aestetic is based on old Jomon art. Which is the equalivant of white people wearing turquoise rings and feather caps
Do you mean the Jomon period, comprising almost the entirety of paleolithic Japanese history?
Yes, the autocorrext simply knows me well enough to autocorrect anything I type into a form of ham.
The people the yayoai displaced.
