Reviving Ancient Burial Culture: The My Kofun Trademark Acquisition

Kofun Co., Ltd., based in Minato, Tokyo, is proud to announce the recent acquisition of the trademark for "My Kofun" on April 13th, 2023. This initiative is part of our ongoing mission to resurrect Japan's unique "Kofun culture" for a modern audience, led by CEO Tsunetaka Takeda.

For the past year, Kofun Co., Ltd. has developed the Takeda-style Kofun graves in Chiba, Kagawa, and Osaka. While these innovative burial solutions have gained considerable traction, we have received numerous requests from families seeking exclusive burial spaces for their loved ones. Responding to this, the company is set to advance the development of family-oriented burial options that pay homage to our ancient traditions while fulfilling current needs.

The Concept Behind My Kofun

My Kofun represents a new approach to funeral services that combines modern demands with the grandeur of Japan's historical burial practices. During the Kofun period, large burial mounds were constructed to honor high-ranking individuals and ensure their peace in the afterlife. The uniquely designed Kofun graves serve not only as a final resting place but also as a way for families to connect with their heritage.

These graves are constructed to reflect the original structures with the collaboration of archaeologists, making them a rare and meaningful alternative to traditional burial methods. By incorporating tree burials and an emphasis on lasting memorial practices, Kofun Co., Ltd. aims to cater to the needs of modern families, especially in light of Japan's declining birthrate and aging population.

Community Engagement and Support

At Kofun Co., Ltd., we believe in creating a supportive community around our burial services. In addition to launching an easy-to-use e-commerce site titled "Kofun no Madoguchi" for seamless transactions, we are also organizing "Kofun Alumi Associations". These events allow individuals who will share a burial space to meet and engage with one another while they are still living, fostering connections that transcend generations.

Our commitment to our clients doesn't end at the moment of burial. We promise biannual memorial services for all interred souls, ensuring that families can maintain a connection with their loved ones without additional costs incurred each year. By making payments only upon contract signing and ensuring ongoing management without extra charges, Kofun Co., Ltd. intends to alleviate any burden on future generations.

Goals for the Future

Kofun Co., Ltd. has plans to expand its development to include 100 graves across Japan, with three locations already completed and open for contracts. Future updates about the status and innovations related to Kofun graves can be accessed via email newsletters through our website, Kofun no Madoguchi. This platform not only offers contract applications but also facilitates reservations for funerals and memorial services.

Our vision extends towards reviving traditional customs while promoting a new culture of memorialization, one that honors the past and embraces the future. We invite you to explore further about our groundbreaking services by visiting our official website or following us on our social media channels.
