Another fascinating story. A few years ago I visited Utsunomia and toured the stone mine there. While the stone for the Imperial Hotel was sourced elsewhere, the story of stone mining in Japan is very interesting. What a relief for Wright when he heard his building had survived!

Thank you, Glennis. You visit the most interesting places in Japan!

Your comment made me realize that I have no images of stone quarrying and mining yet. A great shortcoming!
