Ittoseki Rock at Yagyu Village

Ittoseki Rock at Yagyu Village in Tohoku

Yagyu Village is also nicknamed as "The Home of the Master Swordsmen" as it produced several famous master swordsmen active during the 17th century. Although Yagyu appears to be a typical mountain village, there are various historical sights which are worth seeing. There is an exhibit of Yagyu clan memorabilia, The Yagyu Encampent where swordsmen underwent training, and the Ittoseki (One-Stroke-Rock).
Ittoseki rock is a huge rock that has a cleft n the middle that caused it to split in two. Yagyu Sekishusai is said to have caused the split after he stroke a long-nosed goblin called Tengu with just one strike during a match.
