The Black Galaxy Granite Headstone is a remarkable choice for a dignified and visually stunning memorial.

🇯🇵 Anatomy of a Japanese-Style Black Galaxy Granite Headstone

This traditional headstone includes various precisely defined components, each serving a distinct cultural or structural purpose:

1. Stele (Main Upright Stone)

The central monument, often designed in a two-stage or three-stage structure, symbolizes honor and permanence. Size specifications begin at 7 inches (about 21cm), denoting the width of the stone. Larger widths indicate more prestigious designs.

2. Abutment (Base of the Stele)

Provides foundational support and gives the memorial a sense of stability. The abutment may be a single piece or part of a four-piece grouped structure, offering a more spectacular and enduring presence.

3. Epitaph (Spirit Mark Monument)

Engraved with details such as the deceased’s ring name, common name, age, and date of passing, the epitaph records the spiritual origin of the family and is a core element of the headstone's meaning.

4. Offering Table

A designated area used for placing ceremonial offerings. Some tables feature storage for cleaning tools and ritual items beneath the surface.

5. Foundation Cut Stone (Boundary Stone)

Also referred to as roll stone, this serves as the spiritual and structural boundary between the sacred memorial area and the surrounding soil. Careful planning is required, as rebuilding the base requires dismantling the platform.

6. Worship Stone

A flat stone slab in front of the stele where mourners kneel or stand to pay their respects. It holds ceremonial importance in traditional worship practices.

7. Laminated Stone (Stepping Stone)

Also known as flying stone, this functions as a pathway within the cemetery, providing access while preserving the aesthetic harmony of the memorial area.

8. Yugaki (Jade Wall/Screen)

These decorative screens add privacy and serenity. Available in various styles such as ordinary, arc-shaped, or patterned, they are commonly 3 shaku wide and 8 shaku high, contributing to the visual grace of the gravesite.

9. Columns

Usually 4 inches wide and 1 foot high, these vertical supports often match the design of the yugaki and provide additional aesthetic or symbolic function within the cemetery space.
