A kiln for producing haniwa figures has been discovered at the Ishiyama Minami Ruins and Tomb in Isesaki City.

On the 25th, Isesaki City announced that a kiln for producing haniwa figures, believed to be a relic from the early 6th century, has been discovered at the Ishiyama Minami Ruins and Tomb Group in Shimofrey Town, where excavation surveys are currently underway.

According to the city, relics in which the entire process of haniwa production is concentrated in a small area are rare across the country,

and it is possible that this was one of the haniwa manufacturing centers that supported the Kofun Kingdom.

During this survey, the head of an animal haniwa figure, believed to be that of a deer, was also unearthed from the tomb.
