| Research Abstract |
This research looks at Jomon pottery, which is usually the focus of archaeological studies. This research aims to promote the study of Jomon pottery as art and to raise awareness of its beauty. Specifically, I conducted a survey on the processes of creating collections of Jomon pottery in museums both in Japan and overseas. In addition, I conducted a survey of paintings of archaeological remains.
As a result, I was able to confirm new materials that show the boundaries of art, archaeology and anthropology. There is Jomon pottery on display in a Paris museum which was collected by a foreign missionary during the Meiji era. Another example is that the Tokyo National Museum possesses large, Taisho-era oil paintings depicting Jomon-period ruins. The results of this research were widely disseminated through the publication of an academic article, an exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum, and a public lecture at another museum. Through these activities, my aims have been attained.
