Hi. New to the site as I've been looking to find out about what history (pre kofun) is taught to Japanese students. I appreciate that much may be conjecture, but am interested to know if the question of origins is touched on.

Here in the UK, we are given a general awareness of our ancestry at school, I just wondered whether it is touched on in Japan. Or is it the case that they are taught that the Japanese are 'just japanese' as a friend of a friend said.

It's probably quite a delicate subject...

Thanks in advance for any leads.
