Japanese art - Jomon art.
The first settlers of Japan, the Jōmon people (c 11000–c 300 BC), named for the cord markings that decorated the surfaces of their clay vessels, were nomadic hunter-gatherers who later practiced organized farming and built cities with population of hundreds if not thousands.
