Satobo Christian gravestones

・There are five gravestones in a corner of a large, gently-sloping dry field.
・They are all plate-like dacite gravestones placed horizontally on the ground. They are in a poor state of preservation, including some that are heavily deteriorated.
・The name “Satobo” comes from the name of the town and Oaza, but it is interesting to see that “Koaza,” part of the address where the gravestones is located, is written “切支谷” (pronounced “Kirishitan” (Christian)).
