rdfs:comment | - Mimizuka was the rokugani term for the sliced ears of killed soldiers, taken to recount the enemy losses.
- The Mimizuka was dedicated September 28 1597. The exact reasons it was built are unknown. In that time, it was uncommon for a defeated enemy to be interred into a Buddhist shrine.[citation needed] Alternatively, the Mimizuka could have been meant as a warning for those who resisted Japanese conquest.[citation needed] The Mimizuka is not unique. Other nose and ear mounds dating from the same period are found elsewhere in Japan, such as Okayama; see nose tomb for details.
