Crazy About Kofun: Ancient Tomb Fandom, Promotion, and Commodification

An online presentation by Dr. Laura Miller, Ei'ichi Shibusawa-Seigo Arai Endowed Professor of Japanese Studies and Professor of History, University of Missouri-St. Louis, for the Center for Asian Studies, University of Colorado Boulder.

Kofun are ancient tombs found throughout Japan, but the earliest (3rd century - 5th century) are tumuli located in the Kansai region. In recent years history buffs and civic organizations have displayed great interest in these tombs, which are often used to promote Individual, local, and national identities. In this talk Dr. Miller will provide a little history about kofun before turning to in-progress research on “kofun mania.”
