The name of a sandstone found in Yoshii-machi, Tano-gun, Gunma Prefecture. It belongs to the Tertiary layer, and has coarse light brown grains with a woodgrain pattern. It is hard and durable, but does not become shiny even when polished. The quarry is small and the amount of production is small, but the unique striped pattern blends well with Japanese-style architecture, and it has a unique character that is hard to give up.

群馬県多野郡吉井町に産する砂岩の石材名。第三紀層に属し，淡褐色粗粒で木目のような模様がある。硬質で耐久性に富むが，研磨しても光沢は出ない。採石場は小規模で産額も少ないが，独特の縞模様が和風建築にもよく調和し，捨てがたい味をもっている。【矢橋 謙一郎】
