The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term "Jōmon" means "rope-patterned" in Japanese, describing the patterns that are pressed into the clay.
- 14000 years ago, hunter-gatherer communities in prehistoric Japan produced some of the earliest known examples of pottery.
- They formed clay into basic vessels and decorated their surfaces with patterns that resembled woven textiles, giving rise to the term “Jōmon” meaning “cord-patterned.” This early development of pottery is particularly significant because, in many other regions, pottery emerged considerably later, following the transition to settled agricultural societies.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Jōmon pottery article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
