Perhaps the introduction of pottery to the ancient Ainu people? ;-)

They look pretty skeptical.

From what I could tell of the way-too-small-to-read-calligraphy, the
figure on the right is the god of long life (from the shichifukujin)
What he's doing is hard to guess ...

Well, I can't read the ideographic inscription, but it sure looks to me
like there is some kind of trade being negotiated - fish for the contents
of the pot, perhaps fresh water, wine, etc.?
