倉賀野の 古墳群には 目を見張る

　

 我が故郷・倉賀野町の南西部には大鶴巻古墳(上)と小鶴巻古墳(左下)が右下の図のように近くに並んであります。いずれも前方後円墳で、作られたのはいわゆる古墳時代で５～６世紀と推測されます。

 特に大鶴巻古墳の全長は１２３ｍという巨大なもので、ご覧の通り、平坦地に土を二段にして盛り上げられています。高さは１０mほどです。頂上には現在アカシアの木が植えられ、そばで見るといずれも巨木化しています。

 この古墳群の北西の直線距離３００mほどの所に、もう一基かなり巨大な浅間山(せんげんやま)古墳があります。こちらはあまり整備されてませんが、中仙道沿いにあり、私は近いうちに登って探検するつもりです。

Dear my overseas friends

The Ohzurumaki burial mound (top in Photo) and the Kozurumaki burial mound (lower left) are lined up nearby in the southwestern part of my hometown, Kuragano-town, in Gumma prefecture, Japan, as shown in the lower right figure. Both are an ancient burial mound that is square in the front and round in the back, and it is estimated that they were made so-called in the Kofun period in the 5th to 6th centuries.

 In particular, the total length of the Ohzurumaki burial mound is a huge 123m, and as you can see, the soil is piled up in two steps on a flat land. The height is about 10m. Currently, acacia trees are planted on the summit, and when I look at them at the summit, they are all huge trees.

 There is another fairly huge Sengenyama tumulus at a straight line distance of about 300m northwest of this tumulus group. This is not well maintained, but situated near Nakasendo that means ancient national road between Kyoto and Edo. I will soon climb to the top to explore.
