Ippommatsu Kofun, Ancient burial mound at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan.
The Ippommatsu Kofun measures 36 meters in diameter and stands 8 meters tall, featuring a circular shape with remnants of its original keyhole structure.
Archaeological evidence, including clay figurines discovered at the site, indicates the construction of this burial mound occurred during the late 5th century.
