One of the key stones mentioned in Tsukiyamateizōen (zenpen). According to that work, it is placed on an island. Knowledge of the stone's shape is lost, with one interpretation of the name (literally "ink-slab water stone") taking it to represent water on the ink-slab stone's surface, another interpreting it as the small water pitcher used to pour water on that stone when grinding ink.
