You can buy nice, smooth tsukemono ishi, but they’re not all fancy like that by any means. As long as the stone gets the job done, any stone will do. It’s not strange at all to see gnarly looking stones used for pickling weights. (Ultimately, though, I am basing the illustrations off of a few different scrolls. They all depict the stone monster as having a rough body like the one in yesterday’s illustration, which is why I went with one that looks like that.)

I had a thought about yesterday; do you know what a pickling stone actually looks like? They are usually shaped into a disk , sized to fit the pickling tub. In the very old days, they would be considered heirlooms past down the family. I don’t think it would be like the crude stone you show in the picture. Just my opinion.
Again Fascinating! Did I say CREEPY??
