 </span></blockquote>I need to make a correction.  What i thought was a tripoint marker, the <br/>
bottom pic, is yet another tirangulation point marker.  So in all my <br/>
searches, I have yet to find a single such marker in Japan.  That piece <br/>
you see in the pic dates from 1883.<br/>
<br/>
I have seen many references and sites dedicated to triangulation <br/>
points.  These are markers are placed in prominent locations, often <br/>
mountain peaks and are used for surveying.  In Japan, this, and not <br/>
tripoints nor boundaries, seems to be the hobby.<br/>
