Aji Stone “Sabi-ishi” – Eighty Million Years in the Making
Aji granite stone is quarried in the towns of Aji and Mure in Takamatsu City, Kagawa. It formed roughly 85–70 million years ago (Late Cretaceous), when magma deep underground cooled slowly and crystallized. Over long uplift and weathering, iron-bearing minerals developed a warm reddish-brown patina—this is the distinctive “Sabi-ishi” character, different from the uniform gray of classic Aji stone.
That quiet warmth fits naturally into Japanese aesthetics. Whether used in a garden object or a small sculpture, Sabi-ishi carries time in its color. This mini Jizo is a compact piece that highlights both the stone’s history and the maker’s handwork.
