Earthenware

The introduction of the potter's wheel allowed people to make ceramics easier and faster. As a result, it increased the productivity of ceramic production. Earthenware that was turned on a wheel was quite thin as compared to other techniques such as coiling and paddling. The earthenware was used as tableware and pots for storing food. Some of the earthenware vessels were used as ritual utensils as well.

In this period, clothing was quite different from clothing styles in later periods. Styles of clothing can be seen on clay images of humans that show not only clothing styles but also hair styles, facial hair and accessories. The picture on the right side shows a man wearing a hat. It is difficult to tell from the picture whether or not the top part of the outfit is separated from bottom on the clay figure. His top is crossed in front and tied on the upper left and tied again at his waist. Men usually wore slacks on the bottom tied on each knee by strings.

To the left is a picture of a clay figure of a woman. As you can see, the clay image is wearing both a necklace and earrings. To the right side is a picture of a clay figure of a man. He is also wearing a necklace. There are circular tubes shaped in a figure-8 next to his ears. They are not earrings, rather it is his hair. This was a typical hairstyle during the Kohun Period. This hairstyle is called "Mizura" which was seen in later periods as well. According to historic records, the man is holding a farm tool.
