Kinkai-style pottery

Japanese: 金海式土器 - きんかいしきどき

Also called Gimhae pottery. It was named after the Gimhae shell mounds, based on the ceramic earthenware unearthed at the Gimhae site (Gimhae). Following the tradition of Chinese gray pottery, it was produced mainly on the southeastern coast of the Korean peninsula from the latter half of the 1st century to around the 4th century. It is a new addition to the preceding plain earthenware, and later developed into Gaya earthenware. It was made of selected clay and shaped by hammering techniques. The surface retains the lattice pattern, rope mat pattern, and parallel line pattern from the shaping process, and is surrounded by horizontal sunken lines. It is mainly fired hard using a reducing flame, and most are dark blue in color, but some are gray or yellowish brown in color.

Japanese:

金海土器ともいう。金海貝塚にちなんで，金海遺跡(金海)出土の陶質土器を指標として名づけられた。中国の灰陶の流れをくみ，1世紀後半から4世紀ごろにかけて，朝鮮半島の南東海岸地方を中心にして製作された。先行する無文土器に新たに加わった土器で，のちの伽倻土器へと発展する。精選された粘土を使い，叩き技法で整形された。表面には，整形時の格子目文，縄蓆（じようせき）文，平行線文を残し，横位の沈線文をめぐらす。主として，還元炎焼成によって硬く焼き上げられ，黝青（ゆうせい）色のものが多いが，なかには灰色，黄褐色を呈するものもある。
