Japan boating history dates back thousands of years. The earliest type of boat used was a dug out wooden log boat that resembled a canoe. Boats were critical to the daily lives of the Japanese for catching fish and transportation. Colorful boat celebrations once held to honor a visit from the Emperor or other notables take place to this day. |
