Memorial to sliced noses in Kyoto, Japan
Mimizuka
The Mimizuka (耳塚; "Ear Mound" or "Ear Tomb"), which was renamed from Hanazuka (鼻塚; "Nose Mound"), is a monument in Kyoto, Japan. It is dedicated to the sliced noses of killed Korean soldiers and civilians, as well as those of Ming Chinese troops, taken as war trophies during the Imjin War. The monument enshrines the severed noses of at least 38,000 Koreans and over 30,000 Chinese killed during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions. The shrine is located just to the west of Toyokuni Shrine, the Shinto shrine honoring Hideyoshi in Kyoto.
