Shiragayama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped burial mound) located in Habikino, Japan, dating to around 600 CE. This imperial mausoleum exemplifies the characteristic form of late Kofun period funerary architecture, with its distinctive keyhole silhouette combining a circular rear chamber and a rectangular forecourt. The monument represents the enduring tradition of monumental tomb construction in early Japan, marking a period when such elaborate earthen mounds served as the primary architectural expression of elite status and power.
