Tobinitai is a name of place on the eastern shore of Shiretoko peninsula (知床半島) ‘Tobinitai’ means ‘forest where maple trees gather densely’ in Ainu language. From this point the hybrid potteries which had Satsumon pottery shape with Okhotsk pottery decoration.
Like Yayoi pottery, they were named after the place name, “Tobinitai pottery”. It seems that the Okhotsk fisherman’s culture from Sakhalin or Kuril islands gradually fused with long-hostiled Hokkaidō native’s farmer culture in 9th C. The excavated pit houses of them also indicates the hybrid style of the square plan of Satsumon culture with central hearth of Okhotsk culture. At last this hybrid culture was absorbed into Satsumon culture in 13th C.
