Today is the winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, the day in the northern hemisphere when the sun is at its lowest altitude in the south and day is shortest and night longest during the year (reversed in the southern hemisphere).
Yew is an evergreen tree with dark green leaves and red berries. The yew is a robust tree with a thick girth and an extremely long life. It is probably the longest lived of all trees.
As soon as the downward reaching branches reach the ground, the tree begins to grow strongly, as if it has been reborn as a new tree. The eldest living yew tree is in Europe is said to be the Fortingall Yew, in Perthshire, Scotland, and it has been estimated between 3000 to 9000 years old.
In addition, the yew's hollowed-out heartwood, especially when wet, looks like a flayed animal, and when cut it appears to bleed, so the yew is increasingly said to be a sacred tree. Yew sticks were believed to be able to divine the future, and yew sticks were used as 'writing pillars' to engrave the Ogham script, as they could be preserved almost forever.
As the druids believed the natural law of reincarnation, where the soul becomes reborn as another person, the yew was seen as a protector of the soul during the journey to the Otherworld. Some believe that the road to the Otherworld is shaded by rows of yew trees. Furthermore, the yew is said to stop any obstacles caused by evil spirits from the other world.
As a sacred 'tree of immortality', believed to protect and purify the dead, yews are often planted in cemeteries, many of which are as old as the church or much older.
Sean bienvenidos, japonsistasarqueológicos, a una nueva entrega arqueológica, en esta ocasión os voy a hablar del túmulo Shofuku-ji una vez dicho esto, pónganse cómodos que empezamos.

¿Dónde se localiza el túmulo Shofuku-ji? Se localiza en la ciudad de Kawanishi, en la prefectura de Hyōgo, localizado a su vez en la región de Kansai. La cámara funeraria se descubrió en la era Meiji. En 1934, el Dr. Sueharu Umehara de la Universidad de Kyoto realizó un estudio de campo y en la década de 1970, se realizó un estudio llevado a cabo por la Junta de Educación de la ciudad de Kawanishi que descubrió un ataúd de madera en la que se enterraron: puntas de flecha de hierro, espadas de hierro.

Data del siglo V y el siglo V y corresponde al periodo Kofun, con una longitud total de 40 m y fue construido a principios del siglo VI. Se descubrió un haniwa, que fue desenterrado durante la excavación, y se hizo de una manera muy similar al haniwa en la región de Owari que corresponde a la actual prefectura occidental de Aichi.
