Tanba stone
The name of a pyroxene andesite stone found in Imada-cho, Taki-gun, Hyogo Prefecture. It has plate-like joints and is quarried by peeling thin pieces. It is also called "Tanba Teppei," but unlike Suwa Teppei, it is yellowish gray and has a bitter taste. It is used as a facing stone or edge pile for gate walls and the exterior of buildings, and is sold mainly in the Kansai region. [Yabashi Kenichiro]
