Abstract

The authors have described the lithology and measured the magnetic susceptibility of a stone structure at Shoshazan Engyo-ji Temple in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The stone structure is dated 1233 and is also called “Izumishikibu Utazuka”. The stones, “Amagiri-ishi”, “Mitoyo-ishi”, “Teshima-ishi”, and “Nagasakiishi” in Kagawa Prefecture, were investigated to compare those the lithological observations and magnetic susceptibility measurements with the rocks of “Utazuka”. Finally, we conclude that the stone structure is composed of three different types of rock and the lower part of the hat and foundation of “Utazuka” can be correlated to the “Amagiri-ishi”. Key words: Medieval age, tuffs, lithology, magnetic susceptibility, correlation
