Artifacts from the Yayoi period include an increasing number of wooden products such as building parts, agricultural tools, containers and eating utensils, weapons and armor, and tools for festivals, as well as their unfinished products and manufacturing tools.
The Yokaichijikata Site in Komatsu City produced many agricultural tools for paddy rice cultivation: hoes and plows used to create rice fields and irrigation canals, farming clogs used for harvesting and threshing, wooden knives, mortars and pestles and round mallets.
A refined legged serving tray decorated with flower petals, from the late Yayoi Period was excavated from the Shirae-kakehashigawa Site in Komatsu City. It is highly likely that it was made at the Aoyakamijichi Site in Tottori City, and others have also been found at the Shirae-nenbutsudo Site in Komatsu City and the Sainen / Minamishinbo Site in Kanazawa City.
Colored pattern lacquerware (diameter 17.8 cm) from the end of the Yayoi Period was excavated from the Yuminami Komadarahimon Site in Kaga City. It is a cylindrical container with a handle. After the entire surface was coated with black lacquer, patterns such as straight lines were elaborately drawn on with red lacquer (lacquer with red iron oxide). The production techniques and other characteristics are similar to those of the Korean Peninsula, northern Kyushu, and the San-in region. It is thought that they were made between northern Kyushu and the San-in region.
