Abstract
The article examines the studies of the famous Japanese archaeologist, Ishino Hironobu, in the area of the burial mound period (Kofun era) in the history of Japan. The main methods of studying the Kofun period by archaeologists and historians and the peculiarities of the application of these methods are highlighted. The main problems of the study of the kurgan period are outlined. Based on the analysis of the scientific works of Ishino Hironobu, characteristic features of the spiritual and everyday life of the inhabitants of ancient Japan are presented. Special attention is paid to rituals, holidays, food and iron production, and architectural features. Ishino's view of the chronology of the Kofun period, the origin of the “keyhole” mounds and the well-established theory of standardization of square-round kofun in the III-VII centuries are outlined.
