“Amongst these Eastern savages the Yemishi are the most powerful, their men and women live together promiscuously, there is no distinction of father and child. In winter they dwell in holes, in summer they live in nests. Their clothing consists of furs, and they drink blood”.
-Nihongi: Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697/Book VII
I interpreted the “dwelling in holes in winter” as describing the Jomon-era pit houses with thatched roofs and a sunken floor. This is an Emishi summer home; the “nest” is a simple grass hut. A woman wearing a dress made of Yamato cloth crouches in the woods near the hut with a bronze knife in her hand.
The female figure is a Khurasan figure with some slight modifications to give her a dress. The hut is from Baueda; the same one I used for a Jomon pit house but painted to look more like grass than thatch and with bamboo poles. The trees feature Japanese Black Pines (as close as I could get) instead of the bamboo I used on my Jomon/Yayoi camp to suggest northern rather than central Japan.
