Senshu Pot stone


Senshu Pot stones (Tsubo-ishi) are round or nearly round concretions with a hole suggesting a thick-walled pot. They are found in the Wakayama mountain range overlooking the Osaka Plain. When they are dug from the earth, they are covered with red soil that must be removed with a wire brush.
