What is the origin of the Japanese Shiba Inu?

I am researching the Shiba Inu for an essay, and I cannot find any information on the origin of these Japanese bred dogs. Even though I have one of my own, I cannot find the dogs it originated from. Please help!

The ancestors of the Shiba Inu are believed to be the oldest, as skeletal remains have been found dating back to the Roman Era 8000 B.C. or earlier.
Check out dogbreedinfo.com. They have info on any breed imaginable, including the newer ones. The also give a quick run-down of the origin of the species.
