Why did the Jomon people wear hemp? ──DNA and vibrational memory

The deep connection between hemp and the endocannabinoid system

Hemp is not just a fiber

When looking back at the lives of the Jomon people, the presence of pottery and hunting tools is often mentioned. However, equally important is the technology of “cloth,” and in particular the role of “hemp.” Archeological surveys have revealed that many hemp fibers and seeds have been excavated from Jomon period ruins. Hemp was used in every aspect of life, from clothing, nets, ropes, housing materials, and even ceremonial tools. However, hemp may not have been merely a practical item; it may have also had spiritual, vibrational, and bio-resonance aspects. This is now beginning to be discussed at the intersection of science and spirituality.

Hemp and the "Endocannabinoid System"

The human body has an endogenous regulatory mechanism called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This is an “integrated system” that controls the balance (homeostasis) of the entire body, including the nervous system, immune system, and endocrine system, and its existence was scientifically confirmed in the 1990s. Surprisingly, this system shows a high affinity with phytocannabinoids (components derived from hemp). It has been confirmed that ingredients such as CBD (cannabidiol) directly affect the ECS, bringing harmony, calm, and restorative effects to the mind and body. In other words, humans and hemp are designed to have a “resonant relationship.”

It can even be said that over the course of evolution, humans have internalized a mechanism of interdependence with hemp.

The vibrational effects of "wearing" hemp

This relationship isn’t limited to the hemp components that are ingested. In recent years, the hypothesis that the vibrations and electrostatic properties emitted by hemp fibers themselves affect the human biofield has been attracting attention. Hemp fibers have the ability to dissipate static electricity, protecting the body from man-made electromagnetic noise. The fiber is said to have excellent humidity control properties, does not interfere with skin breathing, and regulates the flow of “ki.” In terms of frequency, there is a theory that it has a wavelength close to the fundamental vibration of the Earth (Schumann resonance 7.83 Hz). The reason why the Jomon people preferred to wear hemp was not simply due to the climate or practicality, but rather due to an intuitive choice to be enveloped in a frequency that the body found comfortable. Now, this perspective is being re-examined at the intersection of archaeology, physiology, and vibration medicine.

"Resonance with plants" memorized in DNA

A more advanced hypothesis is that human DNA holds a “resonant memory with certain plants.” The ethnobiological position is that the genes of ethnic groups that have evolved to adapt to particular land, climate, and food culture have developed a sympathetic relationship with the plants around them. In the Japanese archipelago, at least from the Jomon period through to the Meiji period, hemp was the most important plant, involved in everything from clothing to food, beliefs, and rituals. It is not unnatural to think that this long historical symbiotic relationship has imprinted a “design that is compatible with hemp”** deep within the ECS and DNA of modern people. This coincides with the indescribable physical sensations that modern people have when they pick up hemp products: “I feel a certain sense of security” or “I feel a sense of nostalgia.”

Wearing hemp is a return to "vibration memory"

Originally, clothing was a tool for self-protection and at the same time a vibration device for regulating consciousness. The Jomon people chose hemp not only for its breathability and durability, but also for its sensory harmony and the fact that it resonated with the frequency of their souls. Now, we are at a time when we can return to that sensibility once again. Wearing hemp is an act of retrieving forgotten vibrational memories, a form of **wearable spirituality** that reboots the network between body and soul.
