The first Takeda-style Kofunbo in Tohoku will be born in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture.

Kofun Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tsuneyasu Takeda) announces the construction of a 'Kofunbo' (burial mound grave), a tree burial that faithfully reproduces the ancient Japanese keyhole-shaped burial mound, within the 'Osaki Sakura Karyo' cemetery in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture. This marks the first construction of a Kofunbo in the Tohoku region. Completion is scheduled for around July this year, and construction is currently underway.

In February, a ground-breaking ceremony (Jichinsai) was held by a Shinto priest from Osaki Hachimangu Shrine, a partner shrine, to pray for the safe construction of the Kofunbo. The chief priest of Seirinji Temple, which manages the cemetery, also attended, and rituals such as Tamagushi Hōten (offering of sacred branches) and Kuwaire no Gi (hoeing ceremony) were performed, making it a beautiful ceremony symbolizing the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism.

First in Tohoku! What is the 'Takeda-style Kofunbo' to be born in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture?

During the Kofun period, burial mounds were built to appease the spirits of influential people and wish for their peaceful rest.

Among them, keyhole-shaped burial mounds were special graves built for people of particularly high status.

Our Kofunbo is a rare grave that faithfully reproduces ancient Japanese graves with archaeologists, revived as a perpetual memorial grave and collective grave to meet the needs of modern society with its declining birthrate and aging population.

Perpetual Memorial Services and Offerings

The cemetery will perform memorial services and offerings twice a year for the future.

No Annual Payments Required

Payment is only required at the time of contract; no management fees or other charges thereafter.

No Successor Required

Peace of mind for individuals or those who do not wish to burden their children or grandchildren.

Osaki Sakura Karyo Kofunbo offers two types: 'Individual Perpetual Burial,' where plots are separated and buried on the surface of the Kofunbo, and 'Joint Perpetual Burial,' a communal grave buried in the front part (carot) of the Kofunbo.

Both 'Individual Perpetual Burial' and 'Joint Perpetual Burial' also include pet-friendly grave areas.

Details such as prices will be announced by Kofun no Madoguchi as soon as they are decided, so please register as a customer.
