Kasane-iwa Rocks

Japan Heritage
This pair of stacked (kasane) granite boulders which look like they are about to fall were the super-hard core of a much larger granite deposit that decomposed over time and fell away. The awesome megalith became an object of spiritual veneration and the center of the Kose Ishizuchi Shrine.
