CommentHaritsuke-mon series pottery from the Late Okhotsk culture, and a typical model of Group d according to Fujimoto’s chronology (1966). The main feature of this pottery is the fine and wavy single appliqué, which is regarded to be earlier than pottery with appliqué patterns formed by a unit of multiple lines.
