Stone Museum, Folk museum in Takamatsu, Japan

The Stone Museum is a folk museum in Takamatsu focused on stone carving heritage, with displays of traditional tools, artifacts, and large dioramas depicting the development of this craft. The collections show both techniques used and how stone work evolved in the region.

The museum was established in 1995 to preserve the heritage of Aji stone, high-quality granite quarried locally for hundreds of years. This foundation reflects efforts to document a long craft tradition central to the region.

The museum's collection of 791 stoneworking tools from Mure and Aji was designated a National Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property on 20 December 1996. Displays also show the work of stonecutters before mechanisation, and the museum shop sells small items made from local Aji stone.

The museum is at 1810 Mure, Mure-cho, Takamatsu, about 30 minutes on foot from Yashima Station on the Kotoden Shido Line. It opens 9:00-17:00, last entry 16:30, and closes Mondays (or the next day after a holiday) and 29 December-3 January. Parking holds 60 cars, large buses included.

In December 1996, 791 stonemason tools from Mure and Aji, held by the museum, were designated a National Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property. The collection documents the work of masons before mechanisation, a detail many visitors pass by. The museum opened on 20 March 1995.
