- Now off to Edo and its various place names.
Yayoi 弥生 Yayoi district
. Bunkyoo, Bunkyō 文京区 Bunkyo ward, "Literature Capital" .
Yayoi, 一丁目 / 二丁目 first and second sub-district
In 1884, when it was part of Tokyo City, it was the location of a shell mound where a type of pottery was discovered.
The pottery became known as Yayoi, and eventually a period of Japanese history assumed the same name.

In 1965, the former area name 向ヶ岡 / 向ヶ丘 Mukogaoka was dropped and changed to 弥生 Yayoi.

Yayoi jidai 弥生時代 The Yayoi period (ca. 400 BC - 250 AD).
The period is marked by the establishment of rice cultivation and an agrarian society. Society was hierarchical , with shifting alliances and centers of power. This change from hunter-gatherer Jomon jidai 縄文時代 is believed to have been influenced by a complex process of new migrations from the Asian continent as well as local adaptation. The name of the period originates from the area of Tokyo called Yayoicho 弥生町 where pottery of this period yayoishiki doki 弥生式土器 was first discovered and identified in the 19c. Yayoi pottery was fired at higher temperatures in ventilated kilns in Kyushu 九州.
Many Yayoi vessels are smooth and symmetrical. Rather than the earlier cord decorations, surface patterns were made with a wooden stick or comb. Asian continental influences during this period brought major societal and technological advances, including the establishment of communities and metal forging, particularly of bronze bells and weapons for ritual use.
