There are various theories about the circumstances leading to the discovery

  1. When Komaru, who was deciphering the contents of the Takeuchi Documents, visited Torai Village in Aomori Prefecture (now Torai, Shingo Village), the "Tomb of Christ ."

The compass stone has a crack that accurately points north, south, east and west, and the mirror stone is a huge flat stone over 10 meters in size that fell over in the great earthquake of 1858

It is said that ancient Japanese characters were carved into the surface of the stone. There were several attempts to erect this mirror stone, but each time heavy rain fell and they had to give up on erecting the mirror stone
