Jomon

Japanese: 縄文 - じょうもん
Jomon
A general term for pottery patterns made with twisted cord (rope). The most common method is to rotate the rope itself on the surface of the pottery, but there are other methods, such as pressing the sides or ends of the rope, or rotating or pressing a tangled body of rope wrapped around a round rod. A special development was seen in Japanese Stone Age pottery, which gave rise to the names Jomon pottery and Jomon period. Depending on the era and region, there are styles in which Jomon is not used at all, but generally speaking, eastern Japan has a strong tradition of using Jomon, which was inherited in Yayoi pottery.

Japanese:
撚りをかけた紐 (縄) を用いて模様をつけた土器文様の総称。縄自体を土器面に回転させる方法を最も普通とするが,縄の側面や先端を押圧する方法,縄を丸棒の軸に巻きつけた絡条体を回転または押圧する方法などの種類がある。日本の石器時代土器に特別な発達がみられ,縄文土器,縄文時代の名称の由来となった。時代や地方によっては縄文のまったく用いられない様式もあるが,概して東日本に縄文使用の根強い伝統があり,弥生土器にも継承された。
