Matsuokayama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kashiwara, Japan.
The Matsuokayama Kofun measures 155 meters in length and features a circular portion with a 72-meter diameter on elevated terrain at 60 meters altitude.
Archaeological excavations from 1955 to 1986 uncovered numerous artifacts including bronze mirrors, jadeite magatama, beads, swords, spears, and axes from the 4th century.
The keyhole-shaped design of Matsuokayama Kofun reflects the architectural preferences of ancient Japanese ruling classes during the Kofun period.
The burial mound contains a corridor-style stone chamber measuring 28.4 meters in length, with two house-shaped stone coffins arranged in an L-shape formation.
The sarcophagus consists of six stones specifically designed to accommodate the deceased, with certain side stones containing rope-hanging protrusions.
