About the Stone
Ushi-iwa Blue Stone is a type of stone quarried in the Ushi-iwa area of Hakoyanagi-cho, Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. It is known for its fine grain and strong luster when polished. This high-grade stone is widely used for premium gravestones and has even been chosen for the gravesites of notable individuals.
The name "Ushi-iwa" (literally “Cow Rock”) is said to originate from a large rock in the shape of a cow that once stood in the area. From this region, a deep bluish stone was discovered, and thus it came to be called "Ushi-iwa Bluestone."
