This small burial mound is located in the ancient necropolis for members of the imperial family and nobles that lies south of the site of Fujiwara-kyo, one of the ancient capitals of Japan. It is thought to have been erected in the late 7th or early 8th century. The burial chamber contains mural paintings of the Four Divine Creatures of the compass points, the 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac, Star Atlas, and the Sun and Moon. The Four Divine Creatures and the Star Atlas mural paintings were listed as National Treasures in 2019. In Feng Shui, the cardinal directions are ruled by Four Divine Creatures: the Azure Dragon in the east, the Vermillion Bird in the south, the White Tiger in the west, and the Black Tortoise in the north. Therefore, it is said that cities with a river to the east, a large pond or ocean to the south, a road to the west, and mountains to the north will be especially prosperous.Since ancient times, this idea was believed not only in China, the origin of Feng Shui, but also in Japan. This idea also influenced how the capitals of Nara were built. Azure Dragon青龍(Seiryu)The Azure Dragon, who rules over spring, protects the eastern direction. As the name suggests, it is blue-green. The Azure Dragon is a divine dragon with the horns of a deer and the tail of a snake, symbolizing the flow of a river. It may bring you luck in friendship and wealth.Vermilion Bird朱雀(Suzaku) The Vermillion Bird, who rules over summer, protects the southern direction. The

color red represents the Fire element. The Vermillion Bird is said to control fire and have beautifully colored feathers. We recommend this motif for those seeking to enhance their beauty and intelligence.White Tiger白虎(Byakko)The White Tiger, who rules over autumn, protects the western direction. Like the name, it is white. While the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise are all mythical creatures, this sacred beast was modeled after an existing animal. The White Tiger represents authority and is also considered to be the god of children and safe childbirth.Black Tortoise 玄武(Genbu) The Black Tortoise, who rules over winter, protects the northern direction. The

color black represents darkness. The Black Tortoise is a long-legged tortoise entwined with a snake, said to represent the underworld, the realm of the dead, and the psyche of the cosmos itself. It is a symbol of longevity and offers protection against disease.Star Atlas 天文図In ancient China, people believed that there was a world in the heavens ruled by a celestial emperor. The Kitora Star Atlas was drawn in accordance with this heavenly worldview. The black NARAMAKI is embroidered with the Kitora Tumulus Star Atlas mural painting, while the white NARAMAKI is embroidered with an astronomical chart inspired by outer space.【We strive for high quality and courteous response.】Established 97 years ago with pure focus on socks.Nara Prefecture is the region that produces the largest number of socks in Japan.
