Kasedai Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds in Saiwai-ku, Japan
The Kasedai Kofun Cluster contains multiple burial mounds with circular and keyhole shapes, featuring moats and elevated earthen structures across the landscape.
Archaeological excavations between 1991 and 1994 revealed burial chambers and artifacts from the 5th century, including pottery and metal objects indicating burial practices.
The site includes eleven distinct tombs, with the prominent Shiroyama Kofun representing the largest keyhole-shaped burial mound in the Kawasaki region.
The Kawasaki City Museum manages the site and provides educational resources, while several mounds remain accessible within the Yumemigasaki Zoo Park.
Recent investigations at Kasedai Number 3 tomb uncovered wooden coffin nails and hemp fabric fragments, providing direct evidence of ancient burial techniques.
