Draft:Ichinoyama Kofun

  • Comment: I'm convinced this is notable as a grave of an emperor but it should remain on topic, and any discussion of its historical role should be kept at Furuichi Kofun Cluster, moved one section to that page due to it being more helpful there as per asilvering's advice.Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 06:47, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was not in violation of my editing restrictions so I am resubmitting it. See the current ANI thread for more information. I presume that this would have been accepted if not for this perceptionImmanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 02:11, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm not sure whether to decline or accept, but I will note the "Characteristics" sections follows pretty closely to the source. As per notability, I think it could pass notability as a potential burial site of an emperor, but I'm not that good at evaluating Japanese sources so I'll leave this for someone else. Deauthorized.

The Kofun is a member of the Furuichi Kofun Group.[2]

Characteristics[edit]

The Kofun is quite large at 230 meters long. [2] It has many subsidiary tombs surrounding it[2]. Many of these tombs contained sacrophagi with a "house shaped" design more similar to later designs.[2] This has been interpreted as indicating this kofun was a transitionary period towards later burial practices.[2] This is in line with the decline of the Kofun system which came after this Kofun.[2] With a few exceptions like Okamisanzai Kofun [ja] Kofuns got smaller after this Kofun.[2]

Association with Emperor Ingyo[edit]

The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Ingyō's mausoleum/kofun-type Imperial tomb. Formally, this tomb is called Emperor Ingyō's misasagi (恵我長野北陵,, Ega no nagano no kita no misasagi).[1]

The actual site of Ingyō's grave is not known, this regent is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine near the Kofun.[3][4] An alternative theory states Ingyo was buried in the nearby Tsudoshiroyama Kofun (津堂城山古墳), which is also located in Fujiidera.[1]
