Pyramid in Honshū. Although it looks like a Mesoamerican pyramid, a Buddist doctrine scroll in a pottery tube was found inside. The scroll was lost but the tube is in the collection of the Tenri Sankōkan (天理参考館) museum in Nara prefecture. This was a 'prototype' for the Buddhist pagoda. More than 30 similar monuments were found around Kumayama mountain, most of them are hidden in deep forest.
