Since more than 10,000 years ago, "jade" has been a fascination to people.
The "jade" of the Kofun period is not only beautiful in itself, but also a status symbol that shows the social status and role of the time by dressing it as an accessory, and it is also an item that shows "beauty" and "authority".
