One of many results of Japan's invasion of Korea in the 1500s was "gradual opening of Japanese culture to other influences," since this ended a period of relative Japanese isolation.
<u><em>Korean influence in Japanese culture refers to the impact of continental Asian influences ... Gradually</em></u>; <u>the Jōmon culture was supplanted throughout Japan by the Yayoi culture at the beginning of the invasion in 1592.</u>
<u><em>Korea built European-style transport and communication networks throughout the country. That facilitated Japanese exploitation, but modernization had little or no effect on the Korean people</em></u>. <u>Japan used the modernization of Korea to improve colonial control, serving Japanese trade and consolidating control of Korea</u>.
<u><em>The correct answer is that</em></u>: <u>There was a gradual opening of Japanese culture to other influences</u>.
