西山塚古墳 - Tenri

The burial mound is 114m long and is estimated to have been built in the first half of the 6th century. One of the tumuli that make up the Yamato tumulus group. Most of the Yamato burial mounds were built in the early Kofun period, while the Nishiyamazuka burial mound was built in the latter half of the Kofun period. There is a theory that the burial person is Princess Tashiraka, the 26th Emperor Keitai. Below, from "Wikipedia". According to the tradition of Emperor Keitai in "Nihon Shoki", Emperor Buretsu (25th generation) had no successor, so Emperor Ojin, the fifth grandson of Emperor Keitai (later Emperor Keitai), was called from Echizen. It is said that he was enthroned. However, even after the reign, it took more than 10 years to move to Yamato, and it is presumed that there was persistent resistance from the old powers. From this, it seems that the successor emperor was to marry Princess Teshiroka with the intention of showing the legitimacy of the great throne in the form of a "married woman" to the old royal line, and the great king of the early Yamato kingdom. It is presumed that the tomb of Princess Teshiroka was erected on the grounds of the Yamato burial mounds, the Yanagimoto burial mounds, and the Komukai burial mounds, which are known as the grave area of ​​the tombs, as part of the act of showing the legitimacy of such a great throne. (￣o￣) / Did the successor emperor like his son-in-law also care about something like a stranger?

The Imperial Household Agency manages the Nishitonozuka Kofun, which is the princess of Emperor Ninken, the empress of Emperor Keitai, and the mother of Emperor Kinmei, Princess Tashiraka. It is generally accepted that the Nishiyamazuka Kofun, which was manufactured in the 6th century, is the royal tomb of Princess Tashiraka because it does not fit. What is interesting is why the royal tomb of Princess Tashiraka, a 6th century figure, was built here. If you are Emperor Ninken, you can use the Furuichi Kofungun, if you are the mother of Emperor Kinmei, you should have been in the Asuka region of Soga, and if you are the Empress of Emperor Keitai, you should have been near the Imashirozuka Kofun, where the Emperor Keitai is located. .. Moreover, the haniwa piece of the Nishiyamazuka burial mound is very similar to the haniwa piece of the Imashirozuka burial mound, and it is possible that it was purposely carried from Takatsuki City to this point. After that, it is only a selfish imagination, but it seems that there was a time when the nearby Nishitonozuka Kofun was thought to be the tomb of Emperor Chongjin, the founder of the Yamato Imperial Court. , It is said that one tomb is placed at the tomb of Princess Tashiraka. Emperor Keitai, who had many problems in succeeding to the throne, is connected to the Yamato court by making Princess Tashiraka, the princess of Emperor Ninken, the successor to the Yamato court, starting with Emperor Sujin. Maybe he built his own empress tomb near the tomb of Emperor Sujin to show. By the way, the burial mound of Nishiyamazuka Tomb is an orchard that feels like a private land, and you can enter it freely. If you stand on the top of the back circle, you can see the Yamato basin and it was a very scenic place.

An old burial mound suddenly appears while walking in a residential area Even when viewed from a distance, you can see the unique shape of the tumulus. Direct access is difficult, but it is convenient because there is an explanation panel around

It is estimated to be built in the first half of the 6th century, with a rear tumulus that is 114m long and has a mound length of 114m. Of the many Yamato tumuli that were built in the early Kofun period, they are rarely built in the late Kofun period, and the only part facing the north is the front. It is said that the Nishitonozuka Kofun immediately next to the temple is Princess Teshiroka, but since Princess Teshiroka is a 6th-century princess, it is said that this is a true tomb. The mound is used as an orchard, surrounded by a moat and private houses, making it an inaccessible atmosphere.

There is a beautiful iris-blooming pond on the east side of the rear circle. Probably a remnant of the pond that protects the area around the tomb. Visit 20210508

The Yamato burial mound group has 16 front and 2 rear burls, and almost all of them are the old burial mounds, and only this Nishiyamazuka burial mound is considered to be built in the first half of the 6th century. Unlike the other burial mounds, the direction of the burial mound also faces north (Imashiro Tsuka mound). It makes sense to dare to create this Yamato tumulus group. It is recorded that the management of the tomb was managed at the same time as the Toshin Emperor Tomb and the Tekko Empress Tomb, near the Toshin Emperor Tomb. Shibata tomb is considered to be the tomb of Empress Shikako, but the construction date does not match at all and there is no candidate that only Nishiyamazuka Kofun can apply. The Emperor Emperor Toll also continues to argue. Why not !! ? ? When I visited, bamboos on the hill were cut down and snapped up to climb on the hill, and it was possible to see that it was close to the ridge of the hill in the back circle carefully with the Kawahara stone.

A keyhole-shaped tumulus with a total length of 114 meters, which is believed to have been built in the first half of the 6th century. The mound has been cleared and messed up. I don't know how it looks and the shape of the mound, you, Nani mound? (Lol). Sadly, I got used to the characteristics of the tumulus around here (modified to shaving or orchard) (T_T). From the age of construction, there seems to be a theory that this is the true mausoleum of Princess Tashiraka, the 26th Emperor Keitai. The information board is located in the northeast, near the pond.

It is a tomb that is said to be the true tomb of Princess Tashiraka. According to Kojiki, he will marry Omi (Shiga Prefecture), and according to Nihon Shoki, he will marry King Ohodo and Emperor Keitai, who were in Echizen (Fukui Prefecture). To be exact, you can get married. The child born between them is Emperor Kinmei, who is considered to be the ancestor of the current imperial family. Is the successor probably of royal blood? I'm suspicious, so I married Princess Tashiraka, who was the blood of the royal family at that time. Otherwise, it seems that the senior officials of the Yamato kingdom were not convinced. It took nearly 20 years from the throne of the Great King to entering Yamato. Unlike the successor, the tomb of the princess, who surely draws the blood of the royal family, is in the field, as long as it is good. What is the Imperial Household Agency doing?
