	Sculpture: Haniwa
		Somewhat later, in the Kyoto-Nara area, haniwa were often set in a rectangular arrangement at the crest of the mound, while in eastern Japan they might follow the contour at the base of the mound.
		Haniwa of a particular type, such as birds, cows, or houses, were usually grouped together, though their placement was inconsistent.
		The simplicity of their design, which imbues the haniwa with a mysterious quietness as we stare into their hollow eyes, may have resulted from the rapidity with which large numbers of figures needed to be created for the tomb.

		The Haniwa (å´è¼ª) are clay figures which were made for ritual use and buried with the dead as funerary objects during the kofun era.
		Haniwa grave offerings were made in numerous forms, such as horses, chickens, birds, fans, fish, houses, weapons, shields, sunshades, pillows, and male and female humans.
		In the CG-animated series Gregory Horror Show, a recurrent group of characters call themselves the Haniwa Salary-Man, and take the form of cubic little men of clay, that roam hopelessly in the world of business, salaries and promotions, not caring about their personal and spiritual lives.

		This beguiling figure of a seated warrior is a haniwa (cylinder), which was used to decorate the tomb of a noble during the Kofun, or Tumulus, era (250-600 a.d.
		The reddish, low-fired, and iron-rich clay of this haniwa is typical, as are the neatly cut eye and mouth holes.
		Such figural haniwa were placed either low along the bank of the keyhole-shaped tomb mound opposite the entrance to the tomb, or were clustered near its entrance.

	Haniwa
		Haniwa are: Iconic, fetishistic, historical, cultural, funerary, sublime, honorific, symbolic, representational, and just plain neat.
		At the two earliest known burial mounds, Chausuyama and Hiwasushime no Mikota, haniwa were found near the summit of the mound.
		Thus, haniwa are a distinctive element of the Tumulus Period.

	Seeds of Creativity, May 15 - September 18, 2002
		At first nothing more than plain tubes, haniwa (literally "clay circle"), or burial mound figures, eventually morphed into more elaborate forms, including human and animal shapes as well as architectural structures.
		Haniwa were placed in groups on the exterior-on top, around the edges, and at the entrance-of mound tombs of the elite during the Kofun period.
		These tombs ranged from elaborate, keyhole shapes to rounded mounds of earth and, along with the multitude of haniwa around them, represented powerful visual markers of the deceased's social and political status.

		Haniwa, or "clay cylinders," were placed around large earthen mounds covering the royal tombs of the protohistoric Kofun period.
		Their function is unknown, but it is thought that they were used to protect the sides of the mound from erosion or that they formed a symbolic barrier around the precincts of the dead.
		The majority of haniwa are unadorned, but a number of them are decorated with a variety of sculpted human figures, animals, and domestic or ceremonial objects.

	Cleveland Museum of Art - Haniwa in the Form of an Archer
		In addition to the burial goods normally found in early tombs in ancient Inner and East Asia, the early Japanese placed hollow ceramic totems or sculptures (haniwa) in rows on tumuli slopes to enhance their visibility, define sacred ground, and perhaps stabilize the earthen mass.
		Haniwa shapes evolved from simple forms to sophisticated, sculpted shapes atop cylin-drical bases: houses, musical instruments, female shamans, warriors, and horses are well represented.
		This haniwa of an archer with an arrow quiver on his back (and part of his helmet missing) is representative of 5th- and 6th-century examples.

	Haniwa Grave Figure, Kofun Period, Japan
		Initially the haniwa were simply large cylinders placed atop the mound graves, but would evolve into large sculptural figures.
		The figure at right is thought to represent a shamaness, and she sits on a raised stool, with a cloth wrapped about her chest, wearing jewelry and a hair comb.
		Haniwa figures illustrate some of the characteristic features of the Japanese artistic aesthetic: unlike Chinese burial figures which were often elaborate and glazed, the haniwa were left unglazed to reveal the natural clay, and they use simple, bold, abstract form rather than detail to create an image.

	JAPANESE PREHISTORY
		By far the most striking objects to be placed at kofun, however, are haniwa, 3- to 5-foot high ceramic cylinders embedded in the exterior slope of burial mounds or surrounding burial chambers.
		These human-shaped haniwa tend to be quite large, usually in excess of 4 feet in height.
		Human-shaped haniwa are not entirely limited to warriors, however, and a range of other figures can be found, giving an interesting portrayal of contemporary figures.

	Women and Women's Communities in Ancient Japan
		However, as haniwa artists developed their art, the human figurines became more differentiated and far more male figurines are produced than female figurines.
		The female haniwa, however, tend to remain undifferentiated, which implies that in the early Japanese imagination, women do not occupy a range of economic activities.
		The development of haniwa suggest that the early Japanese did not strongly differentiate men from women in the earliest AD centuries, but slowly developed a cultural imagination that configured men in a variety of concrete social functions while limiting women to abstract or socially non-representational roles.

		The Japanese word haniwa means "circle of clay" and it refers to the unglazed red clay cylinders which were placed around imperial burial mounds to stabilize the ground and support the roof of the tomb.
		They kept their cylindrical bases and simplicity of form, but were transformed by skillful artisans into men and women of the Iron Age court, dancers, warriors, musicians, horses, monkeys, and birds.
		The rough red clay from which the haniwa figures are made is much like the earthenware clay used in most art classrooms.
