From the mid-3rd to late-7th century, numerous ancient tombs were constructed throughout Japan. In Gifu Prefecture, square front, square back tomb mounds began to be built from the mid- to late 3rd century, followed by more construction of such tombs indicating ties with the Yamato government in the Kinai region. In the later part of the Kofun period, the construction of small-scale circular tombs increased, accompanied by the construction of many clustered tumuli. Additionally, burial methods and the funerary objects interred with the deceased underwent significant changes over the course of 400 years. This exhibition presents ancient tombs in the Mino region, incorporating recent research and excavation findings.
