Haniwa Ghost Figure

The Haniwa figures were made for ritual use and buried with the dead as funerary objects during the Kofun period (3rd to 6th centuries AD) of the history of Japan. Their name means “circle of clay” referring to how they were arranged in a circle above the tomb. Haniwa were created according to the wazumi technique, in which mounds of coiled clay were built up to shape the figure, layer by layer.
