Design and Function of Flame Style Pottery: Jomonesque Japan 2016

Highlighting the art and culture of Japan's prehistoric Jomon period (ca 14,000-300 BCE), particularly a trove of 5,000-year-old kaendoki earthenware vessels found around the Shinano River in Niigata, this display at the Kokugakuin Museum should be particularly fascinating for fans of Lovecraft and Giger. In addition to admiring the exhibits themselves, you'll be able to learn how and why they were made and used.
