Tama-toihi
Tama-toihi submitted by Aska : Site in Honshū Japan The 'ichirizuka' mound on the right. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Polissoirs in Honshū.

Two standing stones with straight engravings which are supposed to be used to make jade, agate and other gems into embryo-like Magatama shape. They stand in a historical park around an 'Ichiri-zuka'. Ichiri-zuka (一里塚) were the mounds built every 4km indicating the distance from Edo (archaic name for Tōkyō ) for the travelers who walked the Tokaidō road which connects Edo and Kyōto.

"Tama-Toishi" means 'whetstone for MagaTAMA'.
