| @There are a lot of small ancient tombs
estimated from 300 to 500 around the Nagahara
district. The tombs were furnished with such
burial mound figures as compared with those
of tombs of high-ranked in spite of small
scale. Especially in the second Takamawari
ancient tomb which is a rounded one of around
21 meters in diameter encircled by a ditch,
the largest clay image of a vessel was found,
which is 128.5 meters in length, 26.5 meters
in width, 36 meters in height and it was
designated first among ruins excavated in
Osaka City as the important cultural asset.
Its scale of the clay image of a vessel leads
us to think of full sized article of those
days, which is about 15 meters in length,
about 3 meters in width, 20`30 tons in weight,
scores of men enough to be on board. It is
worthy of notice that such a vessel is suitable
enough to go abroad overseas and it is just
days when 5 Kings of Wa were reigning and
beginning to have connection with the Korea
Peninsula and the Continent of China. |
