　Mabuchi's tombstone has a semicircular natural stone in the center of the grave bed, which is built around it with two-tiered round stones. It is said that this round tombstone reflects the "hoen theory" described by Mabuchi.

　This should be based on "nature" instead of "human" by contrasting "kata = horn = human" and "yen = round = nature", and "nature" instead of "human". It is an idea to preach that "yen" is important. (Reference: Published by the Kamono Mabuchi Memorial Hall, Agatai Tsushin, September 2018 issue)

　The Kamono Mabuchi Tomb at the Oyama Cemetery of Tokaiji Temple is a valuable historical site that has been carved for 250 years. (＠AM)
