Clay figurines called dogū were created for ritual purposes and then intentionally broken into pieces. As a result, most dogū have been discovered in fragmented states. A distinct cultural group referred to as the Kamegaoka culture flourished in northern Japan during the late Jōmon period (pre-10,000–ca. 5th/3rd c. BCE). They created many different kinds of dogū, including those with eyes resembling arctic snow goggles and those with bodies shaped like the letter “X.”

Works of the Kamegaoka culture are regarded as the zenith of plastic arts from the Jōmon-period (pre-10,000–300 BCE), and these are Kamegaoka-style vessels. Their alluringly complex and elaborate designs are distinct from the ornamental motifs created by pressing ropes into wet clay prevalent throughout Jōmon-period material culture. These are largely various types of vessels used for drinking, though some are the type used in rituals, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the Jōmon sacred realm.
