Bōnotsuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Japan
Bounotsuka Kofun features a distinctive architectural design with a square front section connected to a circular rear portion through a middle passage.
The tomb dates from the period between the 3rd and 7th centuries CE when these structures marked burial sites for Japanese nobility.
Burial chambers contained wooden coffins with stone linings, accompanied by bronze mirrors, weapons, and ornaments made of jade and jasper.
Legal regulations limit archaeological excavations at the site, maintaining the structural integrity of this ancient burial ground for future research.
The keyhole shape of the tomb, viewed from above, represents a specific architectural style found in approximately 5,200 similar structures across Japan.
