## Image Caption

This Japanese funerary vessel is an example of Sue wares, originally made for tombs. They were probably used for feasting and drinking at the time of the funeral and then buried with the person who had died. They were crafted on a potter's wheel by specialists and fired at temperatures higher than 1000 degrees centigrade. This new ceramic technology was introduced from the Korean peninsula. It required special kilns, early versions of the climbing kilns still used in [Japan](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Japan/) today. From Japan. Circa 500 CE. (The British Museum, London).
