Nasu no Kuni no Miyatsuko Monument - Nasu no Kuni no Miyatsuko Monument
<br /> An ancient monument in Yutsukami, Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture. It is enshrined as a deity in the grounds of Kasaishi Shrine on a terrace on the right bank of the Naka River. Made of granite and 148 cm high, it is called Kasaishi because a cap-shaped stone is placed on top of the stone monument with an inscription. It was erected by Oshimaro, who is thought to be the son of Nasu no Ataitei , who was the Nasu kuni no miyatsuko and died in 700 (the 4th year of Emperor Mommu's reign), to commemorate his achievements. The characters, 19 characters each in 8 lines, are in a style of Chinese Six Dynasties style. The monument was discovered in the Edo period, and the feudal lord Mito Mitsukuni ordered the founding of Kasaishi Shrine and the protection of the monument, and it was designated a national treasure in 1952 (Showa 27). It is counted as one of the three oldest monuments in Japan, along with the Tagajo Monument (Miyagi Prefecture) and the Tago Monument ( Gunma Prefecture). From JR Tohoku Shinkansen or other Nasushiobara Station, take the Otawara City Bus to the "Kasaishi Jinja-mae" stop, and walk for a short distance.

栃木県大田原市湯津上にある古碑。那珂(なか)川右岸の段丘上、笠石神社の境内に神体として祀られている。高さ148cmの花崗岩製で、碑文が刻まれた石碑の上に笠状の石が載せられていることから、笠石と呼ばれている。那須国造で700年(文武天皇4)に亡くなった那須直韋提(なすのあたいいで)の事績を顕彰するために、息子と思われる意斯麻呂(おしまろ)らによって建立された。19字ずつ8行に刻まれた文字は、中国の六朝時代風の書体である。石碑は江戸時代になって発見され、領主であった水戸光圀(みつくに)が笠石神社の創建と碑の保護を命じたもので、1952年(昭和27)に国宝に指定された。多賀城碑(宮城県)、多胡碑(たごのひ)(群馬県)とともに、日本三古碑の一つに数えられている。JR東北新幹線ほか那須塩原駅から大田原市営バス「笠石神社前」下車、徒歩すぐ。
