À propos
Emperor Nintoku (仁徳天皇) is traditionally the sixteenth emperor of Japan and one of the most beloved figures in Japanese historical tradition. According to the Nihon Shoki, upon seeing no smoke rising from cooking fires in the capital, he declared that his people were too poor to cook, and suspended tax collection for three years—living in reduced circumstances himself until prosperity returned.
His enormous burial mound (Daisen Kofun or Mozu Kofun) in modern Sakai City, Osaka, is Japan's largest keyhole-shaped tomb and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019. He is enshrined at Osaka Tenmangu and various prefectural shrines as a model of benevolent governance.
