Really interesting article, the designs on this pottery are very elaborate, pity there is less of this type of skill around, maybe this site will inspire people?

It is thought that Jomon pottery was made by women, as was the practice in most early societies, especially before the use of the potter’s wheel.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the Jomon people may have created the first known pottery vessels in the world, dated to the eleventh millennium B.C.E. Jomon pottery was made of unrefined, low-fired clay, using manual methods such as rolling the clay into a rope and coiling it upwards from a base.

Hi Tai,

To be precise Jomon Pottery was invented in Japan. However there are many other types of pottery which were invented in different parts of the world.

Thanks.

Jomon Pottery seems interesting, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it in your blog The one at the picture seems to look like a samurai for me, with that serious face and a body that looks like an armour.

Jomon people were able to develop an unusually sophisticated hunting-gathering culture in part because they were protected from large-scale invasions by their island setting and also because of their abundant food supply… Its people lived in small communities, in the early Jomon period there were seldom more than ten or twelve dwellings together.

I practiced Aikido for 8 years when I was a teenager and I spent a lot of time since then studying Asian culture. The pottery artifacts always interested me because of the age old debate… did Chinese culture come from Japan or did Japanese culture originate in China. My guess is that someday there will be a smoking gun found in pottery pieces… whether this will be in China or in Japan is anyone’s guess.
