  • The Pleistocene Era and the Jōmon Period
    Jun 15 2020

    We begin 35,000 years ago with the earliest known humans who lived on Japan, the paleolithic hunter-gatherers, followed by the semi-sedentary Jōmon people. Little is known for certain about either group, but I try to construct a basic outline for what their lives would have been like.

  • All About Pottery!
    Jun 22 2020

    The Jōmon people were the best at what they did, and what they did was... pottery! The ceramics of ancient Japan are fascinating and they tell an interesting story of a people adapting to a changing world.
