Chapter 2 Katano from the Kofun<\/em> period to the Asuka-Nara<\/em> period<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the Yayoi<\/em> period, the primitive accumulation began and power holders, who controlled some communities, emerged. They\u00a0are called ‘Gozoku<\/em>‘ in Japanese. ‘Gozoku<\/em>‘ made big burial mounds -‘Kofun<\/em>‘- for displaying their mights.<\/p>\n

Many burial mounds made in the end of 3rd century were found in the Mori area of Katano City.\u00a0At the time, Katano was controlled by Katano Mononobe<\/em>, who was a Mononobe’s <\/em>relative. Mononobe<\/em> was one of leading Gozoku<\/em> and\u00a0had its political base\u00a0around Isonokami Jingu<\/em> (Isonokami<\/em> Shrine) of Nara. The burial mounds in the Mori area were allegedly Katano Mononobe’s<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Accessories, mirrors, farm equipments, Katanas<\/em>, swords, armors, and Haniwa<\/em> were\u00a0excavated from the Katano Higashi Kurumaduka Kofun, which was made in the beginning of 5th century. Gozoku varied\u00a0these goods with coffins in order to show off their political power. Haniwa was unglazed clay figures made for warding off evil spirits.<\/p>\n

In the middle of 5th century, Toraijin<\/em>, who came from China and Korea, brought, to \u00a0Japan, advanced skills to make steel goods, pottery, and textiles. It is said that Katano Mononobe invited Toraijin to Katano, and attempted to produce high-quality steels. In fact, many tools for making steels were found from the Mori Iseki<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After the fall of Katano Mononobe in the end of 6th century, emperors\u00a0dominated the Mononobe’s areas including Katano.\u00a0It became vested in emperesses. In Japanese, an ’empress’ is\u00a0pronounced ‘Kisaki’. Hence, it is said that several Katano’s area names, ‘Kisaichi’ and ‘Kisabe’, are deeply relating to\u00a0‘Kisaki’.<\/p>\n
