<h3>Jomon Pot</h3>
<p>3000-2000 BC, from Chiyonohara.
<br>Item # 4434-1 at the Honolulu Academy of Arts

<p>Jomon pots were hand-turned, not made on a wheel, and marked with cord impressions (<b>jō-mon</b> means "cord pattern"). Cord marking has a practical, as well as an esthetic, affect - it prevents cracking when the pot is fired.
