Blog#9: Sakitama Kohun!


Good night. I'm Tetsujun Hayashida.
Sakitama Kohun is an ancient tombs. The Kohun is in Saitame prefecture.When I was high school, I studied the tombs in history class. I was interested in the Kohun, because the tomb is in Saitame where is my grand parents live. Of the Kohun, the Inariyama Kohun, I would like to introduce you.

Do you know Wakatakeru Ookimi? He was the king in the fourth century. And the Kohun belongs to him. In the tomb, a sword was found. The sword was written “Wakatakeru” and in Kumamoto prefecture, Edahunayama Kohun has the same sword. Inariyama Kohun and Edahunayama Kohun are very far. It is mystery! So I have gone to there, I was in high school. I have taken the picture then. I put the picture the following. And I publish the Kohun URL in this blog. Click here.

  1. What a beautiful Kohun! I've never seen Kohun like it. Can everyone walk on the Kohun? If so, I wanna walk! Because I've never walk on Kohun. You seem to like Kohun, don't you?

  2. I went to a Kofun near Nara. It was on a slope in the middle of nowhere. Inside it was dark and drops of water were falling from the roof. We couldn't see well, but there were carvings and a body of a thousand year old dead person in there. What is the attractive point of a Kofun?
