Kiyomasa-ishikiyomasa-ishi

Also known as: 清正石・Kiyomasa Stone

A colossal stone boulder within the grounds of Nagoya Castle, named after the warlord Katō Kiyomasa, who according to tradition helped transport and place it. It is one of the largest stones in the castle complex. Historians note, however, that records suggest a different lord was actually responsible for this section of the stone walls.
