Item description - YO05010064
Stepping stones, Tobi-ishi (飛石) in Japanese, are an essential element of the traditional Japanese garden. In contrast to regular garden paths, walking on stepping stones requires more concentration. This has a positive influence on the way in which people experience the garden. Additionally, people cannot walk side by side on a path of stepping stones, eliminating potential distractions. In a tea garden, this also makes sure that people do not arrive at the exact same time at the tea house before the start of the tea ceremony.

Stepping stone paths were introduced by Sen no Rikyū, a very famous historical figure who is regarded as the founder of the tea ceremony. The original idea behind stepping stones was to keep the Zōri, traditional Japanese sandals, clean and dry when walking through the garden.

Kurama stone is a very recognizable authentic Japanese stone type. It is known for its rustic appearance, a result of a significant amount of iron in its composition. Kurama stone originates from Mount Kurama in the north of Kyoto, and is frequently applied in the form of stepping stones and ornamental rocks within the Japanese garden. Additionally, there are beautiful garden elements made of Kurama stone as well such as lanterns, bridges and Chōzubachi water basins.
