Mozu Kofun
The tomb of Emperor Nintoku is the largest in Japan. Part of the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group World Cultural Heritage site.
Sakai Cutlery
The skills of gunsmiths turned to kitchen knives. Most professional cooks use them.
Daisen Kofun
Among the largest tombs on earth by mound length - an earthwork whose whole shape can only be seen from the air.
Sakai City Museum
Set among the burial mounds, and on how the free city of Sakai grew rich on guns and trade.
Sakai Rishonomori
On Sen no Rikyu and the poet Akiko Yosano, both born here; tea is served in a copy of Rikyu's own room.
Sakai Blades
Sakai mass-produced the first Japanese guns; that forging skill turned into knives, and most professional chefs' blades still come from here.
Sakai Chusen Dyeing
Dye poured through stencilled paste so it soaks clean through - the cloth comes out identical on both faces.
Incense of Sakai
Incense making began where the aromatic woods landed; blending and forming are still separate trades.
Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group
Forty-nine tombs across two plateaus; that the keyhole shape held for over two centuries shows how tightly form was controlled.
