About This Frog Statue
This frog statue is carved from natural granite. The rough stone is cut to size first, then the body, head, legs, feet, and facial details are shaped by hand.
The front surface has a textured hand-finished appearance, giving the piece a strong natural stone character. The eyes and mouth are painted black to make the frog’s expression clear and friendly.
Although this is not a large garden statue, it has a solid weight of 26.23 lb / 11.9 kg. It works well near an entryway, in a Japanese garden, beside plants, or as a symbolic stone ornament.
About Okazaki Natsuyama Stone
Natsuyama Stone is a Japanese granite from the Natsuyama area of Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Okazaki is one of Japan’s traditional stoneworking areas, known for stone lanterns, Jizo statues, garden ornaments, and carved stone works.
Natsuyama Stone is valued for its calm gray tone, fine grain, and good workability. It is well suited for sculptures that require rounded forms, carved details, and a natural stone surface.
Geologically, Natsuyama Stone can be described as granite formed roughly 70 to 77 million years ago. Dark mineral specks, white-looking mineral areas, tone variations, and fine stone grain are natural features of the material.
Natural Stone Character
The black specks and mineral patterns in the granite are natural features of Natsuyama Stone. They are not stains or defects.
Please note that the frog’s eyes and mouth details are intentionally painted black. If placed outdoors, rain, sunlight, and time may gradually change the tone of the stone surface and painted areas.
