Oni-no Tateishi
Oni-no Tateishi submitted by Aska : Site in Honshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone (Menhir) in Honshū, Japan. Very close to the railway of JR Chūō-sen (Japan Railway Central-line) is a flat stone penetrating the trackside slope. There are various legends about this menhir (and another one 6km away).

This is one of 2 stone sticks gripped by giant old ogress, or one of stone arrows thrown by an ogre (Oni) against other rival ogre or the Japanese superhero Momotarō. The hollow at the tip is believed as the fingerprint of the ogre.
