Mori Shogunzuka Kofun

Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture

This is a very realistic-looking mannequin of a horserider in the Mori Shogunzuka Kofun museum. I think that it was done by a good artist, cooperating with experts in the period. During the early Kofun period (4th century AD), Japan was invaded by horseriders from Korea and this inaugurated a deep cultural exchange across the straits.
