"Special Exhibition JOMON - The Beat of 10,000 Years of Beauty" is an exhibition catalog that provides a comprehensive overview of the artistic beauty of the Jomon culture that lasted for approximately 10,000 years on the Japanese archipelago. It covers a wide variety of Jomon forms, from clay figurines, pottery, and stone tools, including national treasures, to accessories, ritual implements, and artifacts excavated from settlement remains.
The book introduces the spirituality and aesthetic sense of the Jomon people through a wealth of color illustrations and expert commentary, including dynamic shapes, intricate decorations, and cultural differences between regions. In addition to its value as archaeological material, the book also highlights the appeal of primitive art.
This is the official catalogue for the latest large-scale exhibition introducing Jomon art, and is also a highly informative book.
