Wakigami Kansuzuka Kofun - Gose

When you get out of the way in the mountains, the location representing the city suddenly is wonderful.

A beautiful keyhole-shaped tumulus

The burial mound was built in the latter half of the 5th century, and there is a view that it is a circular tomb killed by Emperor Yuryaku. The place is also deep in the mountains, and many of the excavated items are common to the Miyayama Kofun. I hope that this burial mound will also be excavated and investigated as soon as possible.

Wakigami Kansuzuka Kofun A keyhole-shaped tumulus with a mound length of 149 m, estimated to have been built in the latter half of the 5th century. On the outside, it looks like just a small mountain. There are various theories about the burial person, and in the Edo period, there is a description that it is "Tomb of Takenouchi no Sukune" and "Nippon Takenouchi no Sukuri Tomb", and Katsuragi En and Prince Mayowa of the Katsuragi Honshu family who were destroyed by Emperor Yuryaku. There is also a theory that compares it to a grave. Below, from the commentary board. "Wakigami Kansuzuka Tomb (Kashihara character Aikoyama, Gose City) This tumulus is located in the eastern part of Gose City and is built in a valley of hills extending north from Mt. Kunimi. It is a keyhole-shaped tumulus with the front part facing southwest, and the scale of the mound is about 150 m in total length, the diameter of the rear part is 102 m, the height is 17.5 m, the width of the front part is 88 m, and the height is 12 m. The length of the front part is as short as about half of the diameter of the rear part, and it has an intermediate shape between the keyhole-shaped tumulus and the scalloped tumulus. The rear circle has three steps and the front has two steps, and the existence of Fukiishi and Haniwa has been confirmed. A moat with a width of about 30 m circulates around the mound, but the contour is distorted due to the adjacent circular mound (diameter 50 m) on the south side of the front part. The internal subject has not been investigated, but it has been robbed for a long time, and the existence of a long-lasting sarcophagus is described in the literature of the Edo period. Relics are known for their cap-shaped, helmet-shaped, waterfowl-shaped, house-shaped, and sword-shaped elephant rings, koto pillar-shaped stone products, and sword-shaped metal fittings, which were built around the latter half of the 5th century. Seems to be. This burial mound is the second largest tomb in the Minamikatsuragi area, next to the Miyayama burial mound in Muro, Gose City, which is located about 2 km southwest, and can be said to be a leading burial mound in this area. "

"Behind the Road" Vol. 1-5-5 Reiko Mizukaka Tomb “Five Century”, “Meteorite”, “Minowa Line”, “Daisenryo Tomb” in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture can be thought of as satisfying these conditions. The last image is a diorama when Daisenryo burial mound is completed. As I heard from an old couple working in the Imperial Palace, this area is not just a mountain, but the mountain from Gosho City to Gojo Kita is a mountain of over 1000 old tombs. It was there. Although it is recorded as archaeologically as 800, in fact, if there are a few more, it seems that a former social studies teacher who works in the field at retirement age seems to say so. Head west on this hill and cross the pass to make a right turn to head to the emperor Tamate Hill. First, go to the Emperor Koyasu and Kinpura Shrine.

(Wakigami Kansuzukakofun) A stubby keyhole-shaped tumulus with a length of about 150 meters, which seems to have been built in the latter half of the 5th century. There is a circular tumulus, Wakigami Kansuzuka Minami Kofun (flattened) on the south side of the front part, and I found it interesting in a mysterious space. Information boards are located along the road on the north side of the front part and near the center of the rear part. You can enter the inside from the vicinity of the guide plate of the rear circle, and the three-tiered construction of the rear circle is easy to understand, and you can easily reach the top of the rear circle mound with a gentle feeling. At the top of the burial mound in the rear circle, there was a dent like a grave robbery in a pit-type stone chamber. I didn't enter the front part, but what is it like ... It was a very enjoyable walk.
