Japanese: 古墳時代後期の築造とみられているが、発掘調査が行われていないため正確な築造時期を推定することは難しい。
English: Umeyama Tumulus is designated as the burial mound of Emperor Kinmei by the Imperial Household Agency, but there are also many theories that connect the burial mound of Emperor Kinmei to Mise Maruyama Tumulus which lies about 800 meters to the northwest of Umeyama Tumulus and is the largest tumulus in Nara Prefecture.

English: Some scholars have suggested that like Muro no Obaka Tumulus the protruding part may have been part of a smaller tumuli built next to the frontal part of the present tumulus.
Japanese: この突出部分については、室大墓古墳のように陪塚が前方部に隣接した状態であるという可能性も指摘されている。

English: The tumulus is approximately 0.5 kilometers away from Fuchu Terrace and the area surrounding the tumulus is mostly flat.
Japanese: 府中崖線からは約0.5キロメートルの距離があり、古墳の近辺はほぼ平坦である。

Japanese: 南側約0.4キロメートルにもやはり御嶽塚を中心とした古墳時代後期の円墳が集まった群集墳がある。
English: However, Musashi Fuchu Kumano Jinja Tumulus seems to have been built independently of the others as there is no tumulus nearby.
Japanese: しかし武蔵府中熊野神社古墳のそばには古墳はなく、単独で造られた古墳であると見られている。
English: Having said this, however, there is Tenmondai Konai Kofun-Tumulus which is a dome-shaped tumulus, similar in form and internal structure to Musashi Fuchu Kumano Jinja Tumulus, in Mitaka City, some 7.5 kilometers east of the Musashi Fuchu Kumano Jinja Tumulus.
Japanese: ただ、武蔵府中熊野神社古墳と同じ上円下方墳であり、古墳内の構造も似ている天文台構内古墳が約7.5キロメートル東側の三鷹市にある。

Japanese: また、西側約9キロメートルに所在する八王子市の北大谷古墳の石室との類似性も指摘されている。
English: The areas surrounding the tumulus have increasingly become residential and there are few vacant lots around.
Japanese: 武蔵府中熊野神社古墳の周辺は宅地化が進み、現在、古墳の周辺には空き地がほとんどない状況である。
English: The thrid level is some 16 meters in diameter and about 2.1 meters in height and it is round-shaped.
Japanese: 三段目は直径約16メートル、高さ約2.1メートルで円形を呈している。
English: It has been estimated to be about 5 meters high when it was completed.
Japanese: なお三段目は古墳完成当時は5メートル程度の高さがあったものと推定されている。
English: The grave mound is constructed by the hanchiku technique with which to stamp down the soil and gravel dug out from the surrounding area, as well as flaky chips of siltstone used to construct the stone chambers.
Japanese: 墳丘は古墳周囲から掘削した土や砂利、そして石室築造時に用いられた軟らかいシルト岩の削り屑などを突き固めて造成する、版築工法で築造されている。
English: The ground level is lined with curbs of the same siltstone used for the stone chambers, and each curb measures 40 to 45 centimeters by 35 to 45 centimeters by 15 centimeters.

Japanese: が、古墳本体の東側と南側の少し離れた場所から、幅約6メートル、深さが2メートル以上の落ち込みが2ヶ所確認されている。
English: These findings suggest that a large surrounding moat with 90 meters on a side may exist.
Japanese: その結果から、一辺およそ90メートルの大きな周濠が存在する可能性がある。
English: Before the stone chambers were constructed, soft soil near the surface was removed by digging a large with approximately 8 meters wide from east to west, about 13 meters long from north to south, and over 1.5 meters deep.
Japanese: 石室を築造する前に、東西約8メートル、南北約13メートル以上、そして深さ1.5メートル以上という大きな穴を開けて地表近くの柔らかい土を取り除いた。
English: Red clay and clayey soil of the Kanto district was alternately poured into the hole and stamped down.
Japanese: そこに関東ローム層の赤土と粘土質の土を、互い違いに5センチメートルほどの厚さで突き固めた。
English: The tumulus's foundation work is unique in its depth of 1.5 meters although it is occasionally observed in tumuli from the late to the end of the Kofun period.
Japanese: 掘り込み地業は関東地方の終末期古墳に時々見られるが、1.5メートルもの深さに及ぶものは他にほとんど例がない。
English: While the front chamber is square, the back chamber is slightly round and the burial chamber is almost circular in shape.
Japanese: 前室は方形、後室はややふくらんだ形、玄室は円形に近いふくらみを持っている。
English: Circular burial chambers, often found in tumuli in Musash, which were built at the end of the Kofun period, are called 'drum-shaped stone chambers.'
Japanese: 玄室が丸みを帯びた形の石室は、武蔵の終末期古墳によく見られるもので、胴張り型石室と呼ばれている。
English: Each stone was cut into cubes and carefully combined with its neighboring stones.
Japanese: 石の隅を四角形に欠きとって隣の石と組み合わせるという丁寧な石組みを用いて形作られている。
English: They are easy to process as they are as soft as soil although they are fragile and easily susceptible to collapse.
Japanese: 土とほとんど同じくらいの硬さしかないため加工は容易だが、もろくて崩れやすい。
English: At the back of the burial chamber a small hole with about 9 centimeters in diameter and some 26 centimeters in depth was detected.
Japanese: 玄室の奥の方からは直径約9センチメートル、深さ約26センチメートルの小土坑が検出された。
English: This is taken as the trace of the hole made by a pile driven to mark the axial line when the chamber was constructed.
Japanese: これは石室を築造する際、中軸線を示す基準となる杭を打った穴の跡ではないかと見られている。
English: The chamber's floor was covered with flat stones, 10 to 20 centimeters in diameter, which were carried from Tama-gawa River.
Japanese: 石室の床面には直径10～20センチメートルの多摩川の扁平な川原石が敷かれていた。
English: Depending on their shape, some stones are cut off at the edge so that they can match with others to cover the entire floor.
Japanese: 石の形によっては端の一部を削って形を整え、床一面に石を敷けるように工夫されていた。
English: On the back wall of the burial chamber a scribble of 'Four Soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment of the First Battalion' was found.
Japanese: また、玄室の奥壁から「歩兵第一聯隊第一大隊附四名」と書かれた落書きが見つかった。
English: Most of the burial goods inside the tumulus seem to have been taken away as the tumulus was open during the Meiji period.
Japanese: 武蔵府中熊野神社古墳は明治時代には開口していたために、古墳内部の副葬品の多くは持ち出されてしまったと思われる。
English: Only the following articles were excavated: an iron chape inlaid with silver, four small knives (tozu), many iron nails and six glass balls.
Japanese: 鉄地銀象嵌鞘尻金具1点、刀子4点、鉄釘多数、ガラス球6点が出土したのみである。
English: Ninety iron nails were found in the burial chamber and a bunch of 55 nails were discovered in the back chamber.
Japanese: 鉄釘は玄室から90本、後室からはひとかたまりにまとまった形で55本見つかっている。
English: It is highly likely that after nails and other things used for the wooden coffins upon the first burial were put away in the back chamber, wooden coffins for additional burials were placed in the burial chamber.
Japanese: 初葬時の木棺に用いられた釘などを後室に片付けた後、玄室に追葬の木棺を安置した可能性が高いとされている。
English: Based on these points, some scholars have suggested that the dead persons were placed in the wooden coffins covered with silk cloth before they were buried.
Japanese: この点から被葬者は絹布で覆ったヒノキ材の木棺に安置され、埋葬された可能性が指摘されている。
English: The iron chape inlaid with silver, which was found in the burial chamber, is one of the most noteworthy articles unearthed.
Japanese: 出土品の中で最も注目されるのは、玄室で発見された鉄地銀象嵌鞘尻金具である。
English: The iron chape, which is a metal fitting attached to the edge of a sheath, is decorated with beautiful silver inlays with the 'Shichiyomon' pattern, which was also used for Fuhonsen coins.
Japanese: 太刀の鞘の先端に付く金具である鉄製の鞘尻金具に、富本銭にも用いられた七曜文などの見事な銀象嵌がほどこされている。
English: Some 117 coins including Kanei Tsuho, Bunkyu Eiho, 1 sen, 10 sen, and 0.5 sen were found in the stone chambers although they have no direct relationship with the burial articles in the tumulus.
Japanese: 古墳の副葬品とは直接関係はないが、石室内から寛永通宝、文久永宝、1銭、10銭、半銭など117枚の銭貨が見つかっている。
English: This may suggest that the stone chambers were used for worship as the inner shrine of Kumano-jinja Shrine when they were open to the public.
Japanese: これはかつて武蔵府中熊野神社古墳の石室が開口していた時代、熊野神社の奥宮として信仰の場となっていたものと考えられる。
English: At present, tombs with a dome-shaped mound on a square base officially confirmed through research excavations amount to only five in Japan, including the tumulus under consideration, and are therefore very rare.
Japanese: 現在のところ発掘調査によって正式に確認されている上円下方墳は、武蔵府中熊野神社古墳を含めて全国で5例しかなく、きわめて稀少な墳形である。
English: The tumulus is the largest of all the officially confirmed tombs with a dome-shaped mound on a square base.
Japanese: また武蔵府中熊野神社古墳は、現在正式確認されている上円下方墳の中では最大のものである。
English: Judging from the presence of the paved stones, the construction of the drum-shaped stone chambers through the advanced stone-building technique, and the iron chape with silver inlays among the burial articles, we may assume that it was constructed by an important local power in Musashi Province who had a close connection with the progressive Kinai government.
Japanese: 葺石の存在や、高度な石組み技術で胴張り型石室が形作られている点、副葬された鉄地銀象嵌鞘尻金具などから、先進的な畿内の政権と密接な繋がりを持つ、武蔵国の有力な在地勢力が造営したものと見られている。
English: Drum-shaped stone chambers are commonly adopted in the larger tumuli in the Tama region at the end of the Kofun period.
Japanese: 複室胴張り形の石室は、多摩地域の終末期古墳の中でも他の古墳を規模的に大きく上回る古墳に共通して採用されている。
English: Similarly, this clearly suggests that Musashi Fuchu Kumano Jinja Tumulus was constructed by an important local power.
Japanese: この点からも武蔵府中熊野神社古墳の被葬者が有力な在地勢力であったことは明らかである。
English: It is difficult to estimate when the tumulus was built since no earthenware were found in it
Japanese: 武蔵府中熊野神社古墳からは土器が出土していないため、築造年代の推定は難しい。
English: When comparing the stone chambers with those in the neighboring tumuli and considering the iron chape with silver inlays among the burial articles, it seems that the tumulus was built from the mid to the late 7th century.
Japanese: 近隣にある古墳の石室との比較、副葬品の鉄地銀象嵌鞘尻金具などから、7世紀中葉から後半にかけて造営されたと思われる。
English: Considering the fact that additional burials have been identified, some estimate that the first burials were made in the mid 7th century and the additional burials in the late 7th century.
Japanese: 追葬がなされていると見られる点から、初葬は7世紀中ごろ、追葬が7世紀後半になるとの推定もある。
English: The construction period of the mid 7th century onwards gains significance in connection with the historical situation around the tumulus at the time of its building.
Japanese: 武蔵府中熊野神社古墳造営当時の古墳近隣の情勢を考察すると、7世紀中葉以降とされる造営時期が大きな意味を持ってくる。
English: Which is to say, around the time of its construction, Tosando Musashi-michi Road was built about 1 kilometer east of the tumulus.
Japanese: すなわち、古墳造営と前後して古墳東方約1キロメートルのところに東山道武蔵路が開かれたとみられる。
English: From the end of the 7th century to the early 8th century, Musashi Kokufu (provincial office of Musashi Province under the ritsuryo system) was established at the center of the present Fuchu City.
Japanese: 7世紀末から8世紀初頭にかけては、現在の府中市中心部に武蔵国府が設置されたと考えられる。
English: For these reasons, there is a cogent theory that states that the buried in the tumulus were local powers who played an important part in establishing Musashi Kokufu in the present Fuchu City.
Japanese: そのため在地の有力者であった武蔵府中熊野神社古墳の被葬者が、武蔵国府が現府中市に設置されるにあたって重要な役割を果たしたのではないかとの説が有力である。
English: Musashi Fuchu Kumano Jinja Tumulus was designated as a national historical site on July 14, 2005 for the following reasons: it is a rare tomb with a dome-shaped mound on a square base in Japan; it is one of the largest tumuli built in the ancient Musashi Province; and it is archaeologically and sociologically valuable remains since Musashi Fokufu was established nearby immediately after its construction.
Japanese: 武蔵府中熊野神社古墳は日本国内でもまれな上円下方墳であり、当時の武蔵国最大級の古墳で、古墳造営直後には近隣に武蔵国府が設置されるなど、古墳の考古学的価値と並んで社会的に見ても貴重な遺跡であることが評価され、2005年（平成17年）7月14日、国の史跡に指定された。
English: It was surrounded by fences and the entire mound was covered with sheeting to protect the remains.
Japanese: 周囲にはフェンスが張られ、墳丘全体にシートがかけられて遺跡が保護されている。
English: The opening of the tumulus to the public was scheduled for when the maintenance was completed at the end of fiscal 2008.
Japanese: 整備が終了する2008年（平成20年）度末には公開が予定されている。
English: Yuminoki-jo Castle was a castle in Tango Province (present-day Iwataki, Yosano-cho, Kyoto Prefecture).
Japanese: 弓木城（ゆみのきじょう）は、丹後国（現京都府与謝野町岩滝）にあった城。
English: From the following year, the Hosokawa clan repeatedly attacked the Yuminoki-jo Castle, but the lord of the castle, Sukenao INATOMI continued to repel them with a small force.
Japanese: 翌年から度々細川氏の攻撃を受けた城主稲富祐直は少数の兵力をもってこれを撃退し続けた。
English: Nishitonotsuka-kofun Tumulus (also known as Nishitonozuka-kofun Tumulus) is a large keyhole-shaped tomb mound in early Kofun period (Tumulus period) in Nakayama Town, Tenri City, Nara Prefecture.
Japanese: 西殿塚古墳（にしとのつかこふん、にしとのづかこふん）は、奈良県天理市中山町に所在する古墳時代前期の前方後円墳である。
English: It's the largest tumulus among the Oyamato-kofun Tumulus Cluster which spreads over the south of Tenri City, and it's situated at the site of Tashiraka no Himemiko Fusumada-ryo Mausoleum which was written to be in Yamabe County by Engishiki (an ancient book for codes and procedures on national rites and prayers).
Japanese: 天理市南部に広がる大和古墳群の中でも最大の大きさであり、延喜式で山辺郡にあったとされる手白香皇女衾田陵の位置にあたる。
English: But since there were Kibi-style ceremonial vessel stands, same as Hashihaka-kofun Tumulus, were lined in the back circular part (by Terasawa, 2000), and also because of the shapes of Haniwa (unglazed terra-cotta cylinders and hollow sculptures arranged on and around the mounded tombs) and the mound, there is another idea that it was a tumulus for okimi (great king) in the period after Hashihaka-kofun Tumulus (by Shiraishi, 1999).
Japanese: しかし箸墓古墳と同様の吉備様式の特殊器台が後円部に並び（寺沢2000）、埴輪や墳丘の形態等からも箸墓古墳に続く時期の大王墓という見方がある（白石1999）。
English: Therefore, the age of its construction is estimated from the late third century to the early fourth century (by Shiraishi, 1999; Terasawa, 2000; Wada, 2003).
Japanese: こうして築造時期は三世紀後半から四世紀初めごろと想定されている（白石1999,寺沢2000,和田2003）。
English: If such case, Fusumada-ryo Mausoleum is considered to be the only tumulus around the area, Nishiyamazuka-kofun Tumulus, which was believed to be constructed in the sixth century in Yamabe County stated in Engishiki (by Wada, 2003).
Japanese: その場合は、衾田陵は延喜式でいう山辺郡でも推定築造時期が六世紀と考えられている周辺唯一の古墳である西山塚古墳と考えられている（和田2003）。
