Yayoi pottery Bowl-shaped pottery Yayoi period/300BCE–250CE

Pottery from the Yayoi period was produced in standardized forms such as jars, jars, and bowls according to purpose. It continued to be produced for 1,000 years, until rice cultivation was introduced and established through paddy field cultivation.

This piece is a bowl-shaped earthenware with a wide opening like a tea bowl. The uneven bowl shape, the earthenware color that has aged over time, and the frayed edges all add to its charm and quiet appearance.
