Период Дзёмон в Японии – это время, когда охотники, собиратели и рыболовы перешли к оседлости. Казалось бы, они вели довольно простую жизнь, но на самом деле у них была своя общественная структура, они владели весьма сложными технологиями и создали обширную торговую сеть.

山梨県／埋蔵文化財センター_遺跡トピックNo.0425安道寺遺跡
This event invites three contemporary Japanese ceramic artists to discuss Jōmon pottery, its techniques, styles, and cultural significance in Japan. Being the oldest art form dated from 10,500 BC to 300 BC, Jōmon pottery reveals the lifestyles, cultures and beliefs from the Neolithic period. Since its discovery in the late 19thcentury, the diverse and mysterious potteries shaped the discourse on the origin of the civilization and cultural identity in Japan even to today. Artists in popular culture such as manga and video games appropriated the styles and forms of Jōmon pottery for a variety of purposes, extending its influence on younger generations. Jōmon pottery is crucial to our understanding of both prehistorical Japan and the contemporary imagination of the past, nationalism and popular culture. Mr. Ifurai, a renown ceramic artist who has been studying and trying to reconstruct Jōmon pottery throughout his life, will visit Boulder in March 2019. In his talk, he will demonstrate the techniques of making Jōmon pottery with the assistance of two other artists, Genya Murakami and Ryujiro Oyabu, and explore the cultural significance of Jōmon pottery. This event will be a great opportunity for students and faculty in Asian studies and art history to gain a deeper understanding of Japanese art and culture., powered by Localist Event Calendar Software

Perhaps this explains why, for thousands of years, extremely skilled and inspiring Japanese artisans have been transforming clay and other natural substances into extraordinary works of art.
Standing at 35.9 centimetres in height, this intricately designed clay artifact is a staple piece of pottery notably associated with the prosperous Middle Jōmon Period, which is estimated to have occurred around 2500-1500 BCE in modern-day Japan. Though subject to debate, this item was most...
