There are two-part to this questionPart 1Comparisons have often been drawn between Japanese haniwa and Emperor Qin Shihuangdi’s terracotta army. Read The World of Haniwa (Links to an external site.) from Google Arts and Culture and spend some time looking at examples of haniwa. Why do you think these comparisons have been made – that is, what commonalities do they have? What characteristics set haniwa apart from the terracotta warriors? Be specific and consider a wide range of aspects, such as appearance, size, placement, and function.
