The Ear Mound, or Mimitzuka, in Kyoto had been built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi(豊臣秀吉), which then had been managed by monk Saishō Jōtai(西笑承兌). Later, it was repaired and expanded by Toyotomi Hideyori(豊臣秀頼), son of Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi ordered his armies to take the ears, noses, heads and etc. of the dead, pack them in brine and ship them to him in Koyto during the Imjin war and the Jungyu war, Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592 and in 1597, respectively. He buried these war trophies in front of the Bangkwangsa Temple that he had built and sponsored a Buddhist service for repose of the enemy souls. Bangkwangsa Temple is currently named Punggukshinsa or Toyokuni Shrine(豊國神社) dedicated to Hideyoshi. Though its name is the Ear Mound, it holds ears, noses and heads, of soldiers not only from Korea but also from Myung. Japanese did not destroy this tomb, but tried to utilize it as a political strategy. For example, they received Korean diplomatic missions at Bangkwangsa temple intentionally to show the Ear Mound. They also showed it to western visitors in order to display their military strength. This continues up to now. They actively utilize this mound to lead the national unification by admiring Toyotomi's achievements. Although the Ear Mound is considered as an example of the atrocities committed by the Japanese against Koreans, it is one of the great historical remains that has been worth utilizing as a political strategy since Toyotomi era in Japan.
