| Overview |
Ritual sites are scattered in over ten places at the summit, mountainside and foot of
Mt. Homan, a mountain at 830 m elevation located in the east of Dazaifu, which had
been the ancient state's administrative and diplomatic base in Kyushu. Rituals on top of
rocks are thought to have been held at the summit of the mountain. Large quantities of
pottery, Nara-style three-colored small jars, glazed ceramics, ancient coins, etc. have been
collected below the cliffs. |
