  Sakura ishi (cherry blossom stones): mica pseudomorphs of complex cordierite-indialite intergrowths from Kameoka, ...
Kyoto has been the cultural center of Japan for a millennium, and it is fortuitous that sakura ishi are from an area so intimately associated with an admiration for cherry blossoms.
This is the consequence of postmetamorphic alteration of the hornfels in the Kameoka area that has resulted in the pseudomorphic replacement of the original cordierite crystals by fine-grained mica.
Sakura ishi from Kameoka (pseudomorphs after cordierite-indialite) and from Daimonji-yama in Kyoto (unaltered cordierite-indialite) are found in metamorphosed clay and sand-rich sediments of the Mesozoic Tamba group (Imoto 1984).

 JAL Guide to Japan - KYOTO ( City Information )
Kyoto was the capital of Japan for more than 1000 years, from 794 AD, when the capital was relocated from Nara, to 1868 when the capital again relocated (this time to Tokyo) following the Meiji Restoration.
Spared the ravages of WWII, (Kyoto fortunately avoided the fires that swept other cities) so many ancient temples and shrines remain standing and have been thus able to retain their true character.
