Final answer:
Tombs in China and Japan have provided a wealth of historical treasures, including the Terracotta Army and bronzes with taotie, but neo-Confucian landscape scrolls are not a typical find in these tombs as they are related to later philosophical movements. Therefore, the correct answer is option e neo confucian landscape scrolls.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tombs in China and Japan have yielded many significant historical artifacts and represent a rich source of cultural heritage. Some of the treasures found in these tombs include an army of life-size ceramic warriors known as the Terracotta Army, which was buried with Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Additionally, tombs from the Shang and Zhou (or Chou) dynasties have produced bronzes with taotie designs, which are intricate bronze vessels with animal motifs. Moreover, haniwa figures, which are terracotta clay figures, have been found in Japanese kofun tombs.
The exception in the list provided by the student would be neo-Confucian landscape scrolls, which are not typically associated with tomb finds but are rather artistic works from the later Chinese philosophy known as Neo-Confucianism, dealing with ethics, metaphysics, and society.
