Answer:
- wet rice agriculture
- zen Buddhism
Explanation:
Japan has been mostly isolated from the world for thousands of years, and the people in there developed their own culture, technologies, way of life, which were unique. Despite the isolation, there were still the occasional contacts with China and Korea, which resulted in importation of several things that changed the Japanese society. One of those things was the wet rice agriculture. This way of farming of this crop revolutionized the agriculture in Japan, managing to significantly increase the food production, and to solve the problem with malnutrition. Other thing that was adopted was the zen Buddhism. The Buddhism was easily accepted by the ruling class in Japan, though it took some time for the ordinary people to accept it, as they were attached to their native Shinto religion. It turned out though that the two religions can coexist without problem, which resulted in creating a mixture of the two, resulting in what is now known as Shintoism.
