Research on Jomon Pottery as Japanese Art: With a Focus on Visual Representation and the Creation of Collections

这项研究着眼于绳纹陶器，这通常是考古学研究的重点。本研究旨在促进绳纹陶器作为艺术的研究，提高人们对绳纹陶器美的认识。具体来说，我对国内外博物馆的绳纹陶器的收藏过程进行了调查。此外，我还对考古遗迹的绘画进行了调查。结果，我能够确认显示艺术、考古学和人类学边界的新材料。巴黎博物馆里有一件绳纹陶器，是明治时期一位外国传教士收集的。另一个例子是，东京国立博物馆拥有大正时代的大型油画，描绘了南门时代的废墟。通过发表学术文章、在东京国立博物馆举办展览以及在另一家博物馆举办公开讲座，广泛传播了这项研究的成果。通过这些活动，我的目的达到了。

This research looks at Jomon pottery, which is usually the focus of archaeological studies. This research aims to promote the study of Jomon pottery as art and to raise awareness of its beauty. Specifically, I conducted a survey on the processes of creating collections of Jomon pottery in museums both in Japan and overseas. In addition, I conducted a survey of paintings of archaeological remains.As a result, I was able to confirm new materials that show the boundaries of art, archaeology and anthropology. There is Jomon pottery on display in a Paris museum which was collected by a foreign missionary during the Meiji era. Another example is that the Tokyo National Museum possesses large, Taisho-era oil paintings depicting Jomon-period ruins. The results of this research were widely disseminated through the publication of an academic article, an exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum, and a public lecture at another museum. Through these activities, my aims have been attained.
