Ichinoyama Kofun
The Ichinoyama Kofun is a kofun located in Fujiidera, Osaka traditionally believed to be the burial site of Emperor Ingyō.
The kofun is a member of the Furuichi Kofun Group.
Description
The kofun is 230 meters long, with many subsidiary tombs surrounding it. Many of these tombs contained sarcophagi with a "house shaped" design more similar to later designs. This has been interpreted as indicating this kofun was a transitionary period towards later burial practices. This is in line with the decline of the keyhole tomb order which came after this kofun. With a few exceptions like, most kofuns made later than this kofun were smaller compared to this one.Association with Emperor Ingyo
The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Ingyō's mausoleum/kofun-type Imperial tomb. Formally, this tomb is called Emperor Ingyō's misasagi.The actual site of Ingyō's grave is not known, this regent is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine near the kofun. An alternative theory states Ingyo was buried in the nearby Furuichi Kofun Cluster, which is also located in Fujiidera.
