These tombs were for members of the elite. These kofun have been selected from among a total of 160,000 in Japan and form the richest material representation of the Kofun period, from the 3rd to the 6th century CE. They demonstrate the differences in social classes of that period and show evidence of a highly sophisticated funerary system. Burial mounds of significant variations in size, kofun take the geometrically elaborate design forms of keyhole, scallop, square or circle. They were decorated with paving stones and clay figures. The kofun demonstrate exceptional technical achievements of earthen constructions [1].
- 百舌鳥古墳群是位在大阪府堺市的古墳群。和位於羽曳野市、藤井寺市之古市古墳群同樣是擁有巨大的前方後圓墳之古墳群，年代在 4 世紀後半至 5 世紀後半的 45 件 49 基的古墳群之總稱。2008 年 9 月 26 日，在世界遺產的國內暫定名單內追加包含仁德天皇陵的百舌鳥古墳群·古市古墳群。2019 年 7 月 6 日，聯合國教科文組織的世界遺產委員會在亞塞拜然首都巴庫召開會議，會中通過將百舌鳥、古市古墳群正式登錄為世界文化遺產 There are 44 burial mounds in the Mozu cluster, including those that are partially destroyed. Of these, 19 have been designated as national historic sites, and separately, the Imperial Household Agency has ruled three to be Imperial mausoleums, two to be “Tomb Reference Sites”, and 18 to be “baichō”, or ancillary mausoleums connected with an Imperial mausoleum. There used to be more than 100 burial mounds, but due to the rapid development of residential land after World War II, more than half of the burial mounds were destroyed. In 2010, the Japanese government proposed that the Daisen Kofun and the entire cluster of Mozu Tombs and Furuichi Tombs be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 9 years later on 6 July 2019, the site was approved and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
