The Kofun Period in Japan, which lasted from around the 3rd century to the 7th century, was characterized by the construction of large burial mounds called kofun. These mounds were built for elite individuals and contained grave goods such as weapons, armor, and pottery. The period also saw the emergence of a centralized royal authority and the introduction of new technologies and cultural influences from neighboring regions, such as China and Korea.
