*''Date: c. 300-680''
*''Japanese'': 高松塚古墳 ''(Takamatsuzuka kofun)''
Takamatsuzuka kofun is a [[kofun|mound tomb]] in [[Nara prefecture]], excavated in 1972, and famous for its wall paintings. The paintings, depicting a group of ladies in court costume & hairstyles, are regarded as among the most sophisticated [[Kofun period]] paintings discovered, and among those in the best condition. The close resemblance of both painting style and the style of garments & hairstyle depicted to similar images in Korea and China is evidence of the close cultural ties between Japan and the continent in that period.
