Ōyasuba Kofun
general diagram of a zenpō-kōhō-fun

zenpō-kōhō-fun (前方後方墳) is a kind of Kofun. [1][2] They are shaped somewhat like the more keyhole shaped Zenpokoenfun, but they have a square body rather than a circular one.[1][3] They tend to be smaller than Zenpokoenfun.[4] Yanaida Nunōyama Kofun is one of the largest of the type[5].

There is a specific style exemplified by Yadani Kofun and Jinyama Tumulus Cluster and Rokuji Kozuka Kofun and Tomisaki Kofungun of Ōzuka-Senbōyama Sites as yosumi-tosshutsugata (四隅突出形), which is square or rectangular, with protrusions on each of its four corners; however, it is unique in that it is not a true rectangle, but has a narrow waist, similar to a "two conjoined rectangles" type (zenpō-kōhō-fun (前方後方墳)). The slope of the mound is covered with fukiishi -like stones, with a row of larger stones marking its edge, and is surrounded by a two-meter wide moat. The yosumi-tosshutsugata style is unique to the late middle Yayoi period and is most prevalent in western Japan in areas influenced by the Izumo culture. [5]
