A small square mound (~28m per side) at the southern end of the Mozu group. 5th century. Not designated by the IHA; managed by Sakai City. One of the smaller square accessory mounds, positioned south of the main mausolea. It marks the southern boundary of the Mozu group and contributes to the overall landscape of the ensemble. The name derives from an Edo-period local landowner.Constituent monument of the "Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group" UNESCO WHS (2019). The inclusion of this small square mound among the 49 World Heritage constituents reflects the evaluation of the Mozu-Furuichi group's value through the integrity of the "cultural landscape formed by the entire kofun group" rather than the scale of individual mounds. The adoption of an Edo-period landowner's name as the permanent mound name is a small chapter in the longer story of how Japan's ancient burial mounds have been inherited through successive eras of land management.
No excavation permitted under IHA mausoleum regulations. Internal structure and grave goods remain unknown. Exterior viewable from public paths.
