Oshima Stone in Imabari City | blog | Shimanami Memory for the ocean scatter of the Seto Inland Sea

Hello! Thank you for visiting.

Have you ever heard the word "Oshima stone" when searching for graves or tombstones?

How is it different from other tombstones? What is Oshima stone? Please let me talk about it today.

What is Oshima stone?

Oshima stone is also called "Stone Lady" because of its bluish luster. It is also used in the National Diet Building, the Akasaka Palace, and the Bank of Japan.

The characteristic of Oshima stone is that it retains its original condition for a long time, does not fade, and is a beautiful stone that becomes more bluish over time. Oshima stone has a history of 500 years and has been overwhelmingly popular as a tombstone since ancient times.

There is also a difference in Oshima stone...

Oshima stone also has a rank, from the top,

〇 Oshima stone special grade

〇 Oshima stone first grade

〇 Oshima stone 20%

〇 Oshima stone flounder

〇Oshima stone 2nd grade

are ranked in.

"Special grade" is a beautiful bluish stone with fine black spots of uniform size.

It is said to be the finest stone because it is rare and valuable.

If it is an inferior product, it will turn brown after one year.

At Murakami Stone, we provide a 10-year quality guarantee and a grade certificate so that our customers can purchase with peace of mind.
