Haniwa
Haniwa refers to a distinctive type of terracotta clay sculpture that was created in ancient Japan during the Kofun period (3rd to 6th centuries). These sculptures served as burial objects and were placed in and around burial mounds (kofun) to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. Haniwa figures were crafted in various forms, including humanoid figures, animals, houses, and more, and they offer valuable insights into the religious and funerary practices of ancient Japan. Midjourney plays with this style rather well, creating different shapes of terracotta figurines to respond to the prompts. The Midlibrary score is 8/9. We will not reduce the score for Francis D. this time. Let’s believe he is an archeologist who discovered the Haniwa figures! But we take half-points off for the cyberpunk character and the peonies. They are altered by this style, but not exactly right.
