Question
Which of the following statements is true regarding the history of Japanese literature and drama? The Japanese culture didn't really include literature, drama and the arts until the 1600s. Japan has a long history of traditional drama, which can be traced back to the 600s. Literature began to flourish from the early 1800s. Japan has a relatively modern approach to drama, developing in the 1900s. Literature can be traced back to 500BC.
Solution
The statement "Japan has a long history of traditional drama, which can be traced back to the 600s" is true. Japanese traditional drama, such as Noh and Kabuki, has a long history that dates back to the 14th century and earlier.
The statement "Literature can be traced back to 500BC" is also true. The earliest form of Japanese literature dates back to the 8th century, with works such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, which are historical records, and the Man'yōshū, a poetry anthology.
The other statements are not accurate. Japanese culture has included literature, drama, and the arts for many centuries, not just since the 1600s or 1800s. And while modern forms of drama have developed in Japan, traditional forms have a much longer history.
