The stone is called "Nikko Stone" because it is associated with Nikko Toshogu Shrine, which enshrines Tokugawa Ieyasu as Tosho Daigongen and is connected to the Nikko Toshogu Shrine. It is famous for being used by Frank Lloyd Wright in the design and construction of the former Imperial Hotel. It belongs to the andesite family, which is soft and easy to process, but has many gas bubbles and a beautiful taste like lava. It is said to have been recrystallized from volcanic ash and gravel that sank into the sea during the eruption of a volcano in the early Paleogene about 23 million years ago, containing zeolite and many other components on the seabed, emitting soil improvement and water purification abilities + a variety of minerals, attracting attention as a stone that has a good influence on soil improvement, water quality improvement, and the body.
