A somewhat literary or old-fashioned term for a cemetery, especially one with many tombstones. In modern Japanese, 墓地 (ぼち) is more common.
The word 卵塔場 appeared in an old novel.
Old gravestones stand in a row in the cemetery at the edge of the village.
墓地 is the standard modern word for 'cemetery' or 'graveyard'. 卵塔場 is a rarer, more literary alternative.
Standard kanji spelling for 'cemetery'.
Irregular kanji usage; may be encountered but not standard.
Formed from 卵塔, an egg-shaped Buddhist gravestone, and 場, “place.” It came to denote a cemetery containing such gravestones.
