   After the war Ieyasu indentified the severed heads of the enemy generals at Shogiba. Ieyasu commanded Shigekado Takenaka to bury them at the East burial mound for heads and the West burial mound for heads. The East burial mound for heads is in thick forest near Sekigahara station. The entrance of the Kara-mon gate (Chinese gate) is at the west side of the East burial mound for heads and if you go straight on you'll find the memorial hall for the battle of Sekigahara dead on your left.
   Further left is the Well to wash severed head, and there is a mound with large old chinquapin trees. Ieyasu ordered Shigekado Takenaka to make the East burial mound for heads. He buried the soldiers of the EASTERN ARMY and the heads of the military commanders of the WESTERN ARMY. In those days the area was about 19,800㎡
