EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Japanese artistry. The "Jar (earthenware with incised decoration)" is a testament to the creativity and skill of the Japanese School during the Jomon Period, which spanned from approximately 14,000 to 300 B. C. Standing at a height of 20 cm, this small bottle with its narrow neck was commonly discovered in Late Jomon sites within the Tōhoku region of northern Honshu. Dating back to the Late Jomon period around 2500-1000 B. C. , it offers us a glimpse into prehistoric Japan. The intricate cord marking technique used on this earthenware jar adds an element of primitive beauty. Its decorative motifs are meticulously incised into the surface, showcasing ornate patterns that were likely created using pigments. Now housed in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, this vessel serves as a tangible link between modern-day viewers and our ancient ancestors. It reminds us of their resourcefulness and artistic sensibilities during times long past. As we admire this exquisite artifact, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. This photograph captures not just pottery but also an entire era - one that shaped Japan's rich cultural heritage.
