Also referred to as blue granite for its bluish tone with biotite, and known as the diamond of granite for its fine crystalline structure, Aji stone offers a hardness comparable to quartz and resistance to weathering. The region's stone industry spans over 400 years, tracing back to full-scale quarrying for Takamatsu Castle in 1588 and major technical advancements during the construction of Yashima Toshogu in 1814. Skilled local craftspeople execute every stage from extraction to finishing, applying refined techniques to shape this durable material.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eAbout Aoishima\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eFounded by craftsman Chikara Ninomiya alongside local artisans and commercial support, Aoishima operates out of Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. Established to share the appeal of local Aji stone from Takamatsu, Mure, and Aji towns, the company is rooted in a deep commitment to sustaining the area's historic stone industry.

Shifting Aji stone beyond its traditional uses in building materials and stone statues, Aoishima's artisans craft contemporary interior items and everyday objects designed for modern living environments, bridging local heritage with functional home design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRefined Stone Accent for Living Spaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefined by its understated form, the Japanese Aji Stone Doorstop \"FUJ\" brings functional weight and natural stone texture into everyday environments.
