Goken, which straddles Mure-cho and Aji-cho in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the desire to share its appeal with more people, the brand was launched in 2012 by 13 local stonemasons and volunteers from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAji stone is a historic stone material that has been traditionally used in construction and for statues for over 400 years.\u003cbr\u003eAJI PROJECT elevates its natural form and texture into designs that fit modern lifestyles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\"

contained in Aji stone have small crystals, and are classified into \"Koma-me\" (fine-grained) and \"Chu-me\" (medium-grained) based on their particle size.\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, those with a high iron content and brown color are called \"Sabi-ishi\" (rust stone) in the production area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fine-grained Koma-me on the bottom left is characterized by its delicate texture, and when carefully polished, it reveals a beautiful, double-ikat-like pattern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe medium-grained Chu-me on the bottom right is characterized by small grains of biotite, one of the main components of Aji stone, making it appear slightly whiter than Koma-me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sabi-ishi in the upper center has traditionally been used for gardens, but has recently been gaining attention as a construction material.\u003cbr\u003eIt gets its name from its brown \"sabi\" (rust) color, and it's surprising that it deepens in color over time, and its natural beauty is said to have a healing effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\"

it is also called the \"diamond of granite\" due to the beauty of its fine crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, Aji stone is characterized by its high hardness and strong resistance to weathering.\u003cbr\u003eBecause the fine crystals are strongly bound together, it is said that delicate craftsmanship that cannot be imitated by other stones can be applied to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rock end leverages these characteristics, featuring a design where one stone is split into two.\u003cbr\u003eThe surfaces that come into contact with books are polished to prevent damage, and inconspicuous clear rubber is attached to the bottom as a non-slip measure, making it highly functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pairs well with vintage furniture, and a rich black shelf further enhances the stone's texture and substantial feel.\u003cbr\u003eIt creates a modern atmosphere and adds an elegant accent, regardless of whether the setting is Japanese or Western.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\"
