Naju Futamiri Tomb Group

The Naju Bukham-ri Tomb Group, located about 7.5km west of Naju City, Jeollanam-do, is located in an alluvial plain formed on the north bank of the Yeongsan River. Naju is home to many large jar-coffin tombs that are unique to the Yeongsan River basin, and the Bukham-ri Tomb is known as a tomb built between the 3rd and 7th centuries, when the earthenware jars of Mahan were replaced by stone-chamber tombs of Baekje.

Currently, a total of four ancient tombs remain in the Fushiiwazato Tomb Group, including a ladder-shaped, square, and circular tombs, distributed within a radius of 4 meters.

Tomb No. 1 was constructed as a circular tomb with a diameter of 18 meters and a height of 4.5 meters, and a ditch was also found around the tomb. Tomb No. 2 has a ladder-shaped cross-section, and cylindrical pottery and other items were found around the tomb. Tomb No. 4 is a square tomb, measuring 31.5 meters in length from north to south, 23 meters in width from east to west, and 3.15 meters in height.

伏岩里古墳群の中で一番注目すべきな古墳は墳丘が正方形の3号墓です。東西の長さ36メートル、南北の長さ37メートルで高さが6メートルほどの3号墓の中には、甕棺22基、竪穴式石棺墓3基、石室11基、橫口式石棺2基、石槨甕棺墓1基の総41基の古墳が混在しており、榮山江流域で見られるすべての古墳のスタイルが一堂で見学できるいわゆるアパート形の古墳です。

The Fushiiwazato Tombs are an important source of information for investigating the power of the ancient Yeongsan River basin and its relationship with Baekje and Japan over a 3-year period from the 7rd to the 400th centuries.
