Who is believed to be buried in the Kitora Tomb?

The identity of the person buried in the Kitora Tomb remains uncertain. Scholars believe it was a member of the elite or possibly a royal family due to the tomb’s size, construction, and ornate murals. Some theories suggest it could be linked to figures of the Asuka period with close ties to the imperial court. Artifacts found in nearby tombs provide clues but no definitive identification. The tomb’s design and decorations reflect high social status and cultural sophistication. Ongoing research aims to uncover more about the tomb’s occupant and historical context.
