The best-known kind of Jōmon pottery: a cylindrical pot whose rim rises in openwork flames, the body covered with parallel grooves and swirls built up from cords of clay — made only along the Shinano River and for a short time. Held by Kokubunji, Kokubunji City, Tokyo. 1 Mason 2005, p. 18, fig. 7. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E. Mason, History of Japanese Art, 2nd, Pearson Education LTD. 2005.
