@Shards of earthenware with a picture of the Tower
Approx. 100 shards of earthenware with a picture drawn on them were excavated from the Karako-Kagi Site. It constitutes one third of the total excavated in Japan. Below is earthenware with a picture of more-than-two-story building, which are excavated during the 47th archaeological dig in 1992. As most of the pictures drawn in the Yayoi period are about what people actually saw, this Tower is assumed to stand in the Karako-Kagi Site at that period. This discovery totally renewed the image of buildings in the Yayoi period.
Tawaramoto town reconstructed the Tower near Karako pond as a symbol of the Site.
