Compass Stone
On the grounds of Ishihama Shrine in Minami Senju, Arakawa Ward, Tokyo.
This large stone table was at the side of the shrine grounds. A metal plate is mounted in the top showing the four cardinal directions (lined with properly with where the table is set), which are separated into 24 subdivisions, each marked with one of the 12 kanji for the signs of the zodiac.
