JAPANESE HISTORY
Iwanami Shinsho / From the 3rd to 6th centuries, numerous ancient tombs were built in the Japanese Islands. Why did people make them as if they were possessed? A leading archaeologist examines the religious and social roles of ancient tombs, taking into consideration the influence of the funeral system in China and the Korean Peninsula. It goes beyond the relationship with the establishment of the Yamato sovereignty (the ancient Japan sovereignty) tombs and Haniwa and the ancient people's view of the world after death.
