The Historical Japanese Ceramic Comparative Collection (HJCCC) provides researchers with comparative examples of Japanese ceramics that are found on North American archaeological sites. The HJCCC contains digital photographs and resources for identifying and describing Japanese ceramics manufactured during the Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa eras (roughly the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries). It is intended to assist in identification of historical Japanese ceramics, to encourage the use of standardized terminology, and to promote further research.
