Gwangju Myeonghwa-dong Janggobun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped tumulus) located in Gwangju, South Korea. This kofun, the Japanese term for an ancient burial mound, exemplifies the distinctive zenpō-kōen-fun architectural style, characterized by its keyhole shape when viewed from above—comprising a circular mound adjoined to a rectangular platform. The monument represents an important example of the tumulus burial tradition that flourished in prehistoric and early historic East Asia.
