This book introduces the creative culture of ancient Northeast Asia, including rock paintings, sculptures, and pottery that remain in the Amur River basin. The Amur River forms the border between Russia and China and is a major river that ultimately flows into the Sea of Okhotsk. It is also known for the ice that forms here, which becomes drift ice and washes up on the Okhotsk coast of Hokkaido. This region, stretching from Siberia to northeastern China, has developed a unique art form based on a hunting and fishing culture, characterized by abstract, powerful patterns and animal-like sculptures. Based on excavation materials and archaeological surveys, this book uses abundant illustrations to illustrate the origins of these designs and the spread of regional culture.
The patterns and shapes found in the ancient art of this region influenced later northern cultures, and it is interesting to note that they share some similarities with the patterns passed down in Ainu culture.
This is a valuable resource that allows for a broad understanding of ancient art in Northeast Asia.
