Kurozuka Kofun (黒塚古墳) is a Kofun period keyhole-shaped burial mound, located in the Yanagimoto-cho neighborhood of the city of Tenri, Nara in the Kansai region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2001.[1] It is noted for the 33 triangular-rimmed bronze mirrors with divine beasts that were excavated in almost the same arrangement as when they were originally buried.
