Satsuma Ware
Begun by abducted Korean potters, and split into white ware for the lord and black for everyone else - class made into pottery.

Chiran Peace Museum
On the airfield they flew from, holding the letters teenage pilots left - the handwriting itself part of the record.

Walls built from rounded river cobbles - a distinctive technique, since nothing in them has a flat face.
