Abstract/Description
Japan's early ceramic works of the Jomon, Yayoi, and Nara periods reveal how the peoples of these eras lived and died. Their pottery was deeply tied to their beliefs. This work analyzes how these people's ceramics and how their works are variously connected to their rituals and religions, especially those regarding burial practices.
