Abstract
<p>Jadeite jewelry is sometimes found as “Magatama” which is a comma-shaped bead, we called a type of "Gyoku", at sites dating from the Jomon period (about 14,000 BC to the 10th century BC). In the ancient Japanese book "Kojiki" (712), "Gyoku" is mentioned as one of the "Three Sacred Treasures", but its true identity has not been revealed. At Kotaki in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, the jadeite (Kono, 1939) and the other jadeites (Chihara, 1974, Hayashi et al., 2016, etc.) have also been reported. "Blue Gyoku" described in the Chinese "Three Kingdoms" (280-297) may have been found at Kotaki.</p>
