Imaichi Dainenji Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Izumo, Japan
The Imaichi Dainenji Kofun spans approximately 100 meters in length and features a distinctive keyhole shape with a circular front section and square rear portion.
Dating back to the 6th century, this burial mound represents the architectural practices of the Kofun period, when large tombs were constructed for influential individuals.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered clay haniwa figures positioned along the outer edges of coffins, reflecting spiritual practices of ancient Japan.
