In the midst of an economic recession due to the Showa financial crisis, the Japanese government designated Tomioku village a "financial rehabilitation village" in 1932. Under the slogan, "Village Residents Pulling Together," Tomioku sought to revitalize itself through the implementation of a wide range of new activities such as carp farming and watermelon cultivation. As a result of its efforts, in 1936, the village won further designation as a "special financial rehabilitation village," of which there were only few nationwide. This stone monument was built in 1938 to commemorate the successful completion of many difficult projects, and it is cherished by the village residents.
