Ishigaki

Ishigaki was the Rokugani term for the massive stone platforms that served as foundations of a castle. Ishigaki could also be built as the bottom portion of a castle wall, so that half or more of the wall was a thick stone slope, with a more traditional vertical wall built above. Ishigaki were unmortared, allowing them to safely drain away rainwater from the foundation and to shake with the earth rather than crack during an earthquake. Curved Ishigaki were built by the Crane Clan providing a much steadier base and maintaining a relatively troubled climb. Courts of Stone, p. 10
