A word from the director
In the past, Ishiya was specialized in fields such as soft stones, hard stones, machi stones, sculptures, etc., and made tools early in the morning and went to work according to the work of the day. Nowadays, tools and machines have developed and Ishiya's work has changed, but I sometimes miss the old days.
