A terminal period tumulus built between the end of the 7th century and the beginning of the 8th century.
It is also unknown whose grave this is.
It is famous for the group of girls you see in textbooks, and it seems that it has the nickname “Asuka Beauty”✍️
In addition to the female group, there were also pictures of the four gods, including the male and Suzaku statues! (I didn't know ←)
I was impressed by the technique used to draw colorful pictures at the time🥹✨
There is a Kitora Tumulus Mural Experience Center right next to it, so we recommend stopping by if you have time.
It was fun to compare it with Takamatsuzuka Tumulus✨
I visited for the first time in a while on August 16, 2024. I think this will probably be the third time.
Every time I see the Asuka beauty on the mural, I am reminded of the excitement I felt when I saw it on a stamp when I was an elementary school student. I just hope that it will be preserved in good condition forever.
