Kumamoto Prefectural Ancient Burial Mound Museum — Iwabaru Kofun cluster 300-500 AD — Yamaga, Kyushu island, Japan.

At the Kumamoto Prefectural Ancient Burial Mound Museum, the Iwabaru Kofun cluster of burial mounds dates from 300-500 AD, in Yamaga city, Kyushu island, Japan. Japanese architect Tadao Ando designed the onsite Forest of Tombs Museum. A visually striking sci-fi movie called "Equals" (2016, filmed partly in Japan, based on George Orwell's book 1984) drew my attention to Tadao Ando’s cool architecture, known for simplicity in concrete.
