Boundary Stone between Yamashiro and Tanba Provinces Japan, Edo period, 19th century This stone marker stood at Oinosaka Pass (today in Nishigyo-ku, Kyoto), the western entrance to the early capital of Kyoto. The inscription reads, "East of this point lies Yamashiro Province," suggesting that it once directed travelers heading from Kameyama (present-day Kameoka City) in Tanba Province to the capital.
