Chikatsu-Asuka Historical

Museum

Chikatsu-Asuka, an area in the southern part

of Osaka Prefecture, has one of the best

collections of tumuli (kofun) in Japan.

There are over 200 mounds including four

imperial tombs, the site of the tomb of Prince

Shotoku and the tomb of Ono-no-Imoko. It

was an important place at the start of

Japanese history.

Architect: Tadao Ando

Year(s) of construction: 1991-1994

Land Area: 5,925 m2

Floor Area: 3,407 m2

Location: Osaka, Japan

The building is intended as a center for

exhibiting and studying the culture of the

Age of Tumuli, and my proposal was to

create an environmental museum that

incorporates not only the Tumuli scattered

around the site but the natural environment

of the burial mounds.
