[[Tsunami warning stone]] by D.Lewis, and M.Fackler, 2015

These Century-Old Stone “Tsunami Stones” Dot Japan’s Coastline.
“Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point.”
AUGUST 31, 2015.
At the edge of Aneyoshi, a small village on Japan’s northeastern coast, a 10-foot-tall stone tablet stands, carved with a dire warning to locals.
"High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants," the rock slab says. "Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point."// 
While the Aneyoshi tablet might be the most straightforward, so-called “tsunami stones” dot Japan’s coastline, warning the carvers’ descendants to seek high ground after earthquakes in case they foreshadow destructive waves. The stones vary in degrees of repair, with most dating back to around 1896, when two deadly tsunamis killed about 22,000 people, Martin Fackler writes for The New York Times. //

[[Tsunami warning stone]] or [[Tsunami stone]] may refer to a stone monument, that indicates the highest level of other reached at [[tsunami]], in order to warn the future generations.

==Lack of information==

The kanji at at the [[tsunami warning stone]] are believed to mean somethinf like 

<b>
Beware of tsunami. Do not build homes below this level.
</b>

However, this is only guess, as the original text, written at a [[tsunami warning stone]] is usually not typed.

The text, suggested in the descriptions (even id the description is in Japanese) does not match the kanji written at the stone.

Several authors suggest images of various [[Tsunami warning stone]]s.

These images are characterized in the following:

1. The authors do not type the original text written in the stones

2. The authors to not indicate the coordinates of the place, where the  [[Tsunami warning stone]] is located.

These two observations repeat in many publications and can be considered as surely observed phenomenon.

Origin of this phenomenon can be subject of the scientific research.
It is difficult to guess a honest reason, why an author (or the [[censorship|censor]])
would omit the most important information from the description of the image/

==Scientific interest==

The analysis of the [[tsunami warning stone]]s, and, especially, the analysis of publications about them, represent certain scientific interest.

At it is mentioned, the most important information is usually omitted in the publications.

The lack of information about the [[Tsunami warning stone]] may have some economical reasons: the developers, who sell the ground below the [[Tsunami warning stone]]s,
or homes, or other constructions, that are built-up near the Ocean, below these stones, may be interested hi hide the information about the  [[tsunami warning stone]]s;
both what is written there and where the stones are located.

It should be interesting to found other hypothesis, that explain the same phenomenon in any different way.

1－5　災害教訓の伝承.
岩手県宮古市重茂姉吉地区では、昭和三陸地震（昭和8年）の津波被害の教訓を刻んだ石碑（大津波記念碑）が建てられており、「此処より下に家を建てるな」との文字が刻まれている。この石碑より高い場所に住居を構えていた住民は、東日本大震災の津波による建物被害を受けなかったことが示すように、過去の災害の教訓・伝承を次世代に受け継いでいくことは、災害被害を軽減する上で重要である。
