JAPANESE BURIAL
MOUNDS
From 300-700 AD, it was customary in Japan to bury people of high social status in tombs that were covered with large mounds of earth. According to Japanese archeologists, these burial mounds are known as “kofun,” • and the period is known as the Kofun Period. These mounds can be found in various shapes and sizes, although the characteristic form is the keyhole-shaped tumulus. With an overall mound length that exceeds 1,640 feet, the Daisan Kofun ranks in size along the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt. Consisting of 92 large and small kofun, this huge tomb is located in the middle of the mound cluster known as the Mozu Tumuli, which lies in an area of about 6.2 square miles.
