Translations:Iyo Stonework/3/en
From Japanese Craftpedia portal
During the Meiji and Taishō periods, administrative reforms and modernization altered patterns of construction and commemoration. Iyo stoneworkers adapted their production to new architectural forms while maintaining inherited workshop structures. In the Shōwa period, industrial materials reduced the scale of traditional stone commissions, yet the craft persisted through smaller-scale work and conservation-related activity.
