Extracted from Kawada Stone Industry website It looks like a deep rock that looks very similar to Otani stone. The biggest difference is "strength". It has excellent durability against weathering due to water and temperature, and can be used safely for a long time. Although it is a deep rock with a solid impression, it is calm so that it can be gently wrapped in various situations such as modifying the texture of the cross section by processing, arranging floors, walls, indoor points, etc., changes in sunlight and shadows due to lighting. I have a look. It can be widely used not only for paving stones and outer walls, but also for interior walls and decorations, as well as glass and iron. We carefully process each one according to the purpose. It is presumed that the name of Fukaiwa stone is associated with the Fukaiwa Kannon statue of Iwamoto Shrine, which was abandoned in 1891. The Kannon statue is located in the inselberg-shaped tuff mountainous area on the left bank of the Oashi River, and is housed in the Kannon-do in a cave on the hillside. The history of the quarry dates back to the Tenpo era (1830-1843), producing high-quality stones from that time. It is widely used mainly for building materials, and has a long history to this day. Deep rock is excellent in fire resistance and rich in moisture resistance, Maintains a constant indoor temperature throughout the year. The stone warehouse, which makes full use of its characteristics, has become a symbol of wealth and the status of the family and has been constructed in many places.
