The theory favored by many Western archeologists is that Japanese are descendants of immigrants from Korea who arrived with agriculture around 400 B.C. Since then many things of Japanese culture today have originated from Korea including Buddhism and the Yakuza arrived in Japan in the 6th century. Influence from Korean artists can also be seen ranging from the architecture of Buddhist temples to statues, pottery and even Japanese folk music.
