Jūsanzuka, Ancient burial complex in Heguri, Japan
The site features thirteen burial mounds arranged in a distinct row formation, each displaying variations in their dimensions and structural composition.
Dating from the 15th or 16th century, these mounds were constructed during a period when the Chiba clan influenced the regional burial practices.
The number thirteen in this formation connects to the Buddhist tradition, as the mounds relate to the veneration of the Thirteen Buddhas.
The burial complex maintains its original structure through governmental protection measures, receiving funds for preservation and regular maintenance work.
Archaeological studies of the mounds reveal specific burial patterns that differentiate this site from other ancient burial grounds in the region.
