“MARUISHIGAMI Box Set”
In parallel with this exhibition, “MARUISHIGAMI Box Set” is published, which contains photographs of 100 Maruishigami that can be seen in many places of the Fuefuki River basin.
“Maruishigami” is a round stone artifact can be seen especially in Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan. It has been a subject of folk religion for a long time, and is at borders of villages, street corners, the precincts of shrines, and garden of houses. It is said there is more than 700 Maruishigami in Yamanashi. The stones range from the size of a fist to about 1 meter in diameter. Some are placed alone, while others are stacked with dozens. Its origin and history are not clear. Those round stones, brought by unknown people from unknown places, is like something arrived a different world and is full of mysterious charms.
Yoneda walked around the Fuefuki River looking for Maruishigami and took photos of more than 650 Maruishigami. “MARUISHIGMI Box Set” contains 100 postcards of Maruishigami with a booklet about them and a map showing the distribution of them.
