Funenogogo Tombstone - Funenogogo

Japanese: 船王後墓誌 - ふねのおうごぼし
Funenogogo Tombstone - Funenogogo
The epitaph of Funao Ogo, an official of the Asuka period. Funa can also be read as "funa." The text dates it to the Boshin Year, which corresponds to 668, making it the oldest epitaph discovered to date. The characters are inscribed on both sides of a forged copper plate. It is said to have been excavated from Matsuokayama in Kokubu, Kashiwara City, Osaka Prefecture, during the Edo period, and has been kept at Sairinji Temple for a long time. The exact location of the epitaph and the circumstances of its burial are completely unknown, but considering the years of death and burial of Ogo, it is thought to be a rare example of an epitaph associated with a burial.

Japanese:
飛鳥時代の官人,船王後の墓誌。船は〈ふな〉ともよむ。文中,668年に相当する〈戊辰年〉の年紀があり,現在までに発見されている墓誌の中では,最古の紀年を有する。文字は鍛造の銅板の表裏に刻まれている。江戸時代に現在の大阪府柏原市国分の松岡山から出土したと伝え,その後長く西琳寺に蔵されてきた。墓誌の正確な出土地点や,埋納状況についてはまったく不明であるが,王後の没年や埋葬年時からみて,墓誌の中では珍しく土葬に伴った例と考えられている。
