배는 단순히 사람들의 이동뿐만 아니라 양 지역의 문화와 관습까지 실어 나르는 교류의 형태로, 인류발전에 큰 영향을 준 이동수단이라고 할 수 있다. 한 · 일 삼국(고분)시대에는 주형토기와 하니와가 동시기에 출토되는 경향을 보이는데, 한반도에는 경주 주변과 가야권역 주변에서 출토되며, 일본열도는 기내(畿內)지방에 집중된 분포양상을 보인다. 경주 주변에서 출토된 주형토기는 카누와 비슷한 형태에 장식이 부착된 것이 출토되며, 시기는 5C 후엽에서 6C 중엽까지 집중적으로 나타난다. 경주권역의 주형토기는 장송의례에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 한편 가야권역이나 일본열도에서 출토된 주형토기 · 하니와는 시기적으로 보면 주로 4C 후엽에서 5C 중엽에 집중적으로 출토되고 있으며, 서로 유사한 형태도 많다. 한편 일본열도의 기내지방에서 출토된 주형토기, 하니와는 도래계 요소를 포함한 유구에서 출토되는 사례가 많으며, 형태적 특징도 비슷하기 때문에 일본열도에서 제작된 하니와라고 해도 도래인이 크게 관련되어 있다고 생각한다. 이 시기 한반도에서는 고구려 남진과 근초고왕의 가야지역 진출 등 정세의 불안정이 지속되어 많은 도래인이 일본열도로 건너갔으며, 그로 인하여 일본열도에서는 스에키의 등장과 갑주 제작기법이 변화하는 등, 기술이 발전하던 시기였다. 즉 주형토기 · 하니와는 일본열도에서는 카와치의 신흥 정권 아래에서 한반도와의 교류를 담당하던 인물이 집단을 과시하는 표현으로서 분묘에 주형하니와라는 형태를 남겼으며, 가야권역도 마찬가지로 일본열도와 협상에 관여한 흔적으로 주형토기를 남긴 것으로 이해할 수 있다.
It is a well-known fact from documents historical study and archeological results of research that a ship made an important role by the interchange of Korea day from the ancient times. The ship carries not only the movement of simple people but also culture and the custom of both areas, and it may be said that it is the epoch-making vehicle which had a big influence on development of the human in form called the interchange. A tendency to approximately excavate from both areas for the same period is seen in Burial Mound age in Japan and, in the Age of Three Powers in Korea, tends to excavate the distribution from around Gyeongju and around Geumgwan-Gaya, Ara-Gaya sphere in Korea to show it, and an aspect concentrating on the Kinai district in particular in Japan is seen. As for the form, various types of things exist from a thing in imitation of a big ship to the thing which imitated a small dugout. However, even if it was excavated from the same South Korea, the earthenware that can be estimated to be excavated from around Gyeongju is basically decorated like a canoe-like small boat, and a ship-shaped earthenware with legs is excavated. Because it is different in time with ship-shaped pottery and Haniwa excavated from the sphere and Japan, the relevance to those excavated from the Gaya sphere and the archipelago is low, and it is considered to be associated with funeral rituals held in that area would be good. On the other hand, Haniwa, a ship-shaped pottery excavated from the Gaya area and Japan, is intensively excavated from the late 4th century to the middle 5th century, and many of them have similar shapes. However, some ship-type earthenwares in the Gaya area have high-rise legs and some do not have high-rise legs, and those without legs have a more realistic structure. Haniwa, a ship-shaped pottery excavated from the Kinai region of Japan, has many examples excavated from remains that include a transitive element, and its morphological features are similar. It is considered that the migrants are greatly involved. In South Korea, South Korea in Goguryeo and the advancement of the Kinya Old King into the Gaya region are unstable, such as the First Shilla Backje Alliance in 366. More visitors came to Japan, and it was a period of technological innovation in Japan, such as the appearance of Sue ware and changes in armor production techniques. In other words, the ship-shaped pottery Haniwa is a person who was in charge of maritime exchange with South Korea under the central government in Japan, and remains in the form of a ship-shaped Haniwa to the tomb as a sign of praise. In Korea, the Geumgwan-Gaya area, Ara-Gaya area It can be understood that each power centered on the region remained in the form of a ship-shaped earthenware as a trace of the negotiations with Japan.
