Also called the tsukubai-ishi 蹲踞石, kagami-ishi 蹲石 and *mae-ishi 前石, this stone is placed directly in front of the water basin. The name 'hakama brushing stone' derives from the fact that tsukubai basins are very low、so when crouching to scoop water the user's divided skirts, hakama, would brush against the stone
