The Ichinoyama Kofun (市ノ山古墳) is a kofun located in Fujiidera, Osaka traditionally believed to be the burial site of Emperor Ingyō.[1]
The kofun is a member of the Furuichi Kofun Group.[2]
Description
The kofun is 230 meters long, with many subsidiary tombs surrounding it. Many of these tombs contained sacrophagi 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 kofun system which came after this kofun. With a few exceptions like Okamisanzai Kofun, most kofuns made later than this kofun were smaller compared to this one.[2]
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 (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]
