This piece focuses on the discovery of keyhole-shaped tombs in Jeollanam-do on the Korean Peninsula, noting that they are a burial form unique to the Japanese archipelago and that the area is regarded as part of greater Mimana.

Even after switching in August five years ago to subscribing to the Sankei, the Yomiuri, and the Nikkei, I still did not understand it at all.
But just now, while searching the internet, I understood it in an instant.

The preceding part is omitted.

Many keyhole-shaped tombs, a burial form unique to the Japanese archipelago, have been discovered in Jeollanam-do on the Korean Peninsula, and this area was part of greater Mimana, known as the Four Counties of Mimana.
