The Kofun is a member of the Furuichi Kofun Group.[2]

Characteristics[edit]

The Kofun is quite large at 230 meters long.[2] It has many subsidiary tombs surrounding it[2]. Many of these tombs contained sacrophagi with a "house shaped" design more similar to later designs.[2] This has been interpreted as indicating this kofun was a transitionary period towards later burial practices.[2] This is in line with the decline of the Kofun system which came after this Kofun.[2] With a few exceptions like Okamisanzai Kofun Kofuns got smaller after this Kofun.[2] ja:市ノ山古墳

Association with Emperor Ingyo[edit]

The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Ingyō's mausoleum/kofun-type Imperial tomb. Formally, this tomb is called Emperor Ingyō's misasagi (恵我長野北陵,, Ega no nagano no kita no misasagi).[1]

The actual site of Ingyō's grave is not known, this regent is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine near the Kofun.[3][4] An alternative theory states Ingyo was buried in the nearby Tsudoshiroyama Kofun (津堂城山古墳), which is also located in Fujiidera.[1]
