Four hundred copies of excavated haniwa set out among trees - placed outdoors, closer to how they originally stood.

Three hundred and nineteen mounds across a plateau, kept as grassland so their shapes stay readable as terrain.

A town that paired forest protection with taking in craftspeople; woodworkers and weavers have gathered here.
