When arranging flowers and plants, the impression changes dramatically depending on the type of container or pot you choose. Stone has a unique, calm presence, different from ceramics or glass.

Each stone, formed over long periods in nature, possesses a different color, pattern, and texture. When combined with the vibrant colors of plants, it creates a small space in your home where you can feel closer to nature.

This time, we’ll introduce three types of stone that allow you to enjoy a life with stones and plants.

Even though we use the single word “stone,” there are actually many different types.
There are white, hard stones, warm, rough stones, soft, smooth stones, and more. Not only do they differ in appearance, but also in hardness, water absorption, durability, and ease of processing.

So why do stones have such different properties?
The main reason is “how the stone was formed.”

This time, using representative stones handled by ISHIMO as examples, we will introduce the classification of stones and their respective characteristics.

In Japan, since ancient times, various customs of protection against misfortune have been passed down to ward off disasters and evil spirits, and to pray for the health and peaceful lives of families.

Protection against misfortune is about avoiding disaster and praying for peaceful days.

This wish has been embodied not only in amulets and talismans, but also in ornaments and decorations that protect homes and buildings.

Protective items placed at entrances, gates, roofs, and gardens embody the desire to ward off misfortunes from the outside and watch over important places.

This time, we will introduce “Komainu” (guardian lion-dogs), “Shoki” (demon-repelling deity), and “Kimon-yoke Kakuseki” (demon-warding corner stones) from the stone protective items handled by ISHIMO.

While learning about the meaning and origin of each, please find your favorite item to watch over your life.
