Ryuzan Stone (Hoden Stone) is the name of the rhyolite ignimbrite produced on the right bank of the lower reaches of the Kako River in Hyogo Prefecture. These stones are formed by the thick accumulation of pyroclastic flow sediments ejected by volcanic activity in the late Cretaceous period (about 100 million years ago).
In ancient times, this stone was used in the stone coffins of the great kings and powerful families in Kinai. The "Ishi no Hoden" built around the 7th century was made of about 500 tons of pumice from the halfway point of Hoden Mountain and was enshrined as a deity at the Ikuishi Shrine. At the end of the Edo period, Siebold also visited and introduced it to Europe.
During the Kamakura to Muromachi periods, the creation of five-wheeled pagodas, Hokkien-seal pagodas, tiered pagodas, stone Buddhas, etc., began to spread widely in the prefecture as well as in Osaka and Kyoto.
