Kofun Japan
The Kofun period is an era in the history of Japan from about 300 to 538, the date of the introduction of Buddhism in Japan, following the Yayoi period. The Kofun period and the subsequent Asuka period are sometimes collectively referred to as the Yamato period. This period is the earliest era of recorded history in Japan, but studies rely heavily on archaeology because the chronology of historical sources is often distorted. Kofun is Japanese for the type of tumuli dating from this era.
