Product information
Engraved In Japan, engraved stones called Ishibumi (碑) can be found in many places. The text on these stones can be about all kinds of subjects, such as the place where it stands. The main function of these Ishibumi stones is to pass on knowledge to future generations. Because of this, these Ishibumi stones are also known as memorial stones in English.
The front of the scroll describes its origin, but unfortunately not everything is legible anymore due to age. The text refers to a student at the Matsuo-ryu school for the tea ceremony, specifically the seventh most prominent in Nagoya named Matsuo Goshu (松尾宗五).
On the side is written when the stone was made in the traditional Japanese calendar: Meiji Year 26 Month 5 (明治二十六年五月), or May 1893.
