Interesting art, but this representation distorts a little of everything I've seen about the Jomons, their appearance and clothing are much more similar to the people of Oceania in my view.

A more compatible eyecandy should be made, something that mixes Asia with Mesoamerica.

That is more than all Middle Eastern-Mediterranean style.

Perhaps with a roof of dry leaves and wall made with wood.

Indeed, but the prop points are now there in the model.

Of course, you just have to develop a concept and do a little research.

with these props.

this estrural composition, very open fits well,

we only need to use architecture from the yayoi era.

or...

open gallery style. perhaps with only racks, shelves, stalls.

We don't need to reinvent the wheel, we can use the items from the market that we already have and just change the roof and the texture that is used on it.

if there are changes later, you know where to take inspiration from (with the Mayans we are on it).

Where would that go? Looks like a good start regardless.

 

EDIT: Oh I see, the center. Maybe the roof can just be some sticks?

we never spend time on props.
We should take advantage of this and add something nice that is not in the other civs, something from the East.

there should be Chinese goods.

In China the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE correspond with the period of the unified empire under the Qin (221–207 BCE) and Han (206 BCE–220 CE) dynasties, which already had entered the Iron Age. In 108 BCE the armies of the emperor Wudi occupied Manchuria and the northern part of the Korean peninsula, where they established Lelang (Nangnang) and three other colonies. These colonies served as a base for a strong influx of Chinese culture into Korea, whence, in turn, it spread to Japan. The fact that Yayoi culture had iron implements from the outset, and bronze implements somewhat later, probably indicates borrowings from Han culture. Since iron rusts easily, comparatively few objects have been found, but they seem to have been widespread at the time. These include axes, knives, sickles and hoes, arrowheads, and swords. The bronze objects are also varied, including halberds, swords, spears, taku (bell-shaped devotional objects from China), and mirrors. The halberds, swords, and spears seem not to have been used in Japan for the practical purposes for which they were developed in China but rather to have been prized as precious objects.

Maybe we could use this mirror as a civ emblem ?

@AIENDthese were imported from china, right?

@AIEND 这些是从中国进口的，对吧？

If it is a cast bronze mirror, it is very possible, which was one of the logo products exported from China at that time, so I used it as the logo of the mod.

this factor would make me choose another design.

Terasawa has suggested that people in the middle and late Yayoi periods needed millets and acorns in order to cover around 30 to 50% of their daily energy needs (around 2,000 kcal a day). Acorns have been found from over 150 sites, including at Karako Kagi, where a pit with acorns was discovered. Millets such as foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and common millet (Panicum miliaceum) have been found from over 100 sites.

It has been found that people used a wide range of food resources to complement their rice-oriented subsistence. Many of these had also been used in the preceding Jomon period.

Yayoi pottery from Asahi

This beautiful assemblage of pottery from the large defended settlement at Asahi in Aichi prefecture, includes dishes and cups on pedestals, fine jars with narrow necks, and a series of small vessels. What do you think they were used for? Some archaeologists think they were used in special ceremonies, possibly involving feasting and making offerings, and perhaps the different colours and designs were significant.
