Abstract This paper traces
the chronology of the changes in the variety and placement of
funerary pottery, from the period of Clay-band rim pottery culture
to the Proto-Three Kingdom period. The results demonstrate that the
variety and positioning of the pottery changed after the formation
of the detailed pattern mirror, and that the custom of placing grave
good in the upper layer of the burial also appeared at this time.
While the variety and quantity of the funerary pottery increases
during the Proto-Three Kingdom period, it also becomes apparent that
the pottery was placed within a single grave over several occasions.
The funerary custom of placing a large amount of pottery within a
grave correlates with Han culture, however the custom of placing of
goods in the upper layer of the burial does not. Although this upper
layer burial custom was adopted in the Jin-han and Byeon-han areas,
it disappears from the Ma-han area. In other word, these results
indicate that the customs pertaining to the placement of burial
goods increased in complexity as the influence of the Han culture
expanded, however the impact and spread of this influence were
different in the eastern and western areas of the Korean peninsula.
Keywords Clay-band rim
pottery culture; Proto-Three Kingdom period; pottery as burial
goods; placing goods in the upper layer of the
burial.

Abstract Many powerful
chiefs in ancient Japan (Wa) adopted gilt bronze crowns, shaped
either as diadems or caps, from the mid-fifth through the end of the
sixth centuries. In addition, a few chiefs adopted cap-shaped
crowns, round at the base, made of organic materials. This article
aims to investigate the lines of origin and development of organic
material cap-shaped crowns in ancient Japan. The author assembled
data on organic material cap-shaped crowns and on metal crown
ornaments, and his resulting views are as follows. Organic material
cap-shaped crowns were adopted indigenously, based on the products
or information transmitted several times from Paekche between the
mid-fifth and the end of the sixth centuries. Caps used in the
twelve-grade cap rank system devised by the Suiko court were based
on the organic material cap-shaped crowns adopted by a local chief
at the end of the sixth century. Hints were provided by information
on the organic cap-shaped crowns of the Paekche bureaucracy,
obtained at the end of the sixth century. In the seventh century,
organic material cap-shaped crowns became the main type of headgear
for indicating rank.
Keywords Kofun period; organic material
cap-shaped crowns, round at the base; local chiefs; Paekche; Suiko

Lambis chiragra artefacts and derived

Abstract This paper focuses
on artefacts and motifs which were possibly derived from the Lambis
chiragra shell during the Kofun period of Japan from a genealogical
point of view. The shape of the tubular projections and the front
view of the shell were selected as essential points for comparing
and interpreting the artefacts and motifs. I conclude that the
Lambis chiragra bracelets of the Kofun period can be placed on the
same genealogical line as the artefacts made of the same shell that
appeared in the Nansei Islands in the prehistoric period which ran
parallel to the Jomon period on mainland Japan, and the shape had
been adopted based on the perceived magical properties of the hook,
which had had a long tradition. It is also indicated that the motif
called sokyaku rinjo mon, a cog-wheel shaped circle with two
ribbon-like projections, is derived from the Lambis chiragra and
represents a view of the ventral surface of the shell.
Keywords Lambis Chiragra;
shell artefact; design; abdomen motif; magical
tradition.
Abstract There has been a
dispute about the date of eave tiles with decorative cloud pattern
in Omi style. One argues that it was in the period between the end
of the Nara period and the early Heian period, while the other
considers that it was in the period from the middle to the late
eighth century. The eave tiles were distributed both on the north
and south sides of Lake Biwa. In this paper, firstly I carried out a
comparative examination of the roof tile with date inscription of
Jyowa 11 (AD 844) associated with the eave tiles with decorative
cloud pattern, and the roof tiles recovered from the Soyama site.
The study revealed that the former was not an original roof tile but
was made for patching in the later period. Secondly, I conducted a
quantitative examination of every type of the roof tiles recovered
from the Omi provincial office site and its related sites. The
research clarified that the period of production and use of the eave
tiles with decorative cloud pattern was limited around the
third-quarter of the eighth century. Examining the sites where the
eave tiles with decorative cloud pattern were unearthed and
investigating the eave tiles themselves, I indicated the possibility
that the Omi provincial office had been involved directly or
indirectly in distribution of the eave tiles, regardless of the
difference of roof tile groups such as the provincial office group
and the Minami Shiga Haiji group. Meanwhile, iron-working sites were
also distinctively distributed both on the north and south sides of
Lake Biwa. This distribution pattern suggests relevance of that of
the eave tiles with decorative cloud pattern. Moreover, some sites
outside the Omi region bearing the eave tiles with decorative cloud
pattern imply the relation to the Omi provincial office.
Keywords Eave tile with
decorative cloud pattern in Omi style; Date; Provincial office
group; Minami Shiga Haiji group; Omi provincial
office.
