Hamamatsu is home to the nation-building myth of “Daidarabocchi'. According to the legend of the Great Nyudo. He had stumbled and dropped a tear, which became Lake Hamana. It is said that the stone that was in the rice ball was spit out and became the Tsubute Island floating in Lake Hamana, and the water god “Ichikishimahime” and “Benzaiten'' are enshrined on that island. As for the actual history, the human bones of the “Mikabi human'' were discovered in 1958 along with the bones of animals, indicating that humans existed here 9000 years ago. We are said to be close to Homo sapiens, but unlike the legend of Daedarabotchi, actually they were extremely short, around 150cm tall. MIIKABI Stone is a quartzite that has been recrystallized from heavy sandstone in an environment of high temperature and pressure, and it is a stone that has a variety of colors because it contains various ingredients like chert. It is a stone with high specific gravity and hardness. The main ingredient is silicon, which is a component of quartz, so it has a slightly transparent feel.
