Imperial Household Agency view
Managed by the IHA as the Osakanouchi Tomb of Princess Otomo, daughter of Emperor Kinmei, in Osaka, Sakurai. The ~15m round mound, with a chamber sketched in Meiji drawings, appears to be a late-7th-century tomb — later than the princess's era, scholars note. It lies beyond Emperor Jomei's mausoleum (id:404).
