A Rare Japanese Granite Quarried Only in Takamatsu, Kagawa

Aji stone is a granite quarried only in the northeastern region of Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. Its fine grain and exceptional density have made it one of the most coveted stones for both architectural and artistic use. With a hardness of Mohs 7 — equivalent to quartz — it resists wear and weathering while remaining responsive to precision finishing by skilled artisans.

Hand-Finished by Stone Artisans in Kagawa

Due to the stone's remarkable hardness and density, working with Aji Stone requires a high level of expertise. In its place of origin, specialized artisans handle each stage of the process — from quarrying and cutting to polishing, engraving, and shaping. Their generational craftsmanship brings out the full character of the stone, transforming it into a piece of functional art.

A Stone Door Stop with a Rustic, Natural Character

Each stone door stop has its own shape and surface character, reflecting the natural variation of Aji Stone. Paired with a simple rope in a subdued, natural tone, the design has a rustic, understated presence that lets the stone remain the focus. At approximately 2 kg, the natural weight of the stone holds the door firmly in place without the need for additional mechanisms. No two pieces are exactly alike.
