Did the Housing Change Over Time And Why?

This is an picture of sediment at the bottom of the sea that happened because of global warming.
Yes, the housing in Fuchu Japan changed over time because the Chinese religion came into Japan and combined with the Shinto religion . Global warming also changed the way they lived because the polar ice caps melted and flooded the cracks in the land. The people changed from hunter-gatherers to people that can grow food in one spot and therefore they needed better housing. The Jomon settled in Japan before Japan became an island. Before the Jomon settled in Japan they traveled around looking for food. They learned how to grow their own food because they were trapped in Japan and were not able to move around and gather food. Most lived in the Kanto plain because it was the flattest area. Because this area of land was so flat, it was easy to grow crops. The people found seeds that they were able to plant and then the plants that they grew were edible. They grew rice and fished as well. The Yayoi sailed to Japan. These people lived in clans called Uji. Each clan had a single male leader. The Yayoi brought wet-rice agriculture to Japan. These people taught the Jomon how to plant food. The Jomon lived in tents after captured on Japan. However the Jomon were not as sophisticated as the other river societies. For example, the Jomon and Yayoi people didn't have sewer systems, water drainage systems, or any technological developments such as this. They built low-tech equipment and low-tech houses.
