This small rugged Furuya stone was collected approximately 50 years ago in Wakayama prefecture. The small tunnel on the left side of the stone is reminiscent of a coastal scene. The beautifully detailed base was made by the late Tanimoto Hyakusui, one of the finest base carvers for Furuya stones.

This stone was in the personal collection of the late physician, Dr. Matsuyama Tomonaka for many years. Thus, the provenance of this stone has some historical interest and adds to its value. This stone is 14 cm wide, 7.5 cm high, and 7.5 cm deep without the base.
