This tall carved stone is part of a family’s grave site. It’s often inscribed with Buddhist symbols or animals representing peace, wisdom, or protection.
The writing translates to "Ancestral Grave". During Obon, relatives visit to clean the stone and offer incense, flowers, and food.
In Japan, families are often buried together. The graves show respect for generations, keeping ancestors close even after death.
