Summary

| Description |
English: The traditional design of family tombstones includes the family name on the base in horizontal orientation and the standard phrase on the face in the vertical orientation of "senso daidai" (generation after generation of ancestors) or one of the main Buddhist sect phrases such as "namu amida butsu" (we call on merciful Buddha: Pure Land and True Pure Land Buddhism), or "namu myoho renge kyo" (Glory to the Sutra of the Lotus of the Supreme Law, Nichiren Buddhism).

Until the 1980s soft local stone often would be used for family tombstones, but increasing trade and lower costs of the granite from China has made this hard stone the usual choice for material to carve.
