Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the specifics of the selective acceptance of Korean migratory culture, based on the study of earthen steamers appearing under the influence of the Korean Peninsula in the late 4th to early 5th centuries. As a result of examining 30 steamers from mainly the Nagahara site, with the Yaominami and Kyuhoji sites as auxiliaries, using attribute analysis with some technical attributes of the steamer, it is revealed that there were two technical successions, or new successive techniques from Korea and Japanese traditional techniques, the so-called Haji-ware style. This result has been pointed out ever, but when viewed from the perspective of chaîne opératoire, the consistency of the original body techniques makes it impossible to accept other detailed techniques, and only the shapes were adopted and the techniques continued as they had in the past. This point again confirms that the subjects of the acceptance of the new culture were indigenous Japanese groups.
