Tako Ishi from tako meaning "octopus" and ishi meaning "stone" is the biggest stone in Osaka Castle. It's around 18 feet (5.5 m) high, 38.4 feet (11.7 m) wide and weighs around 108 tons. Because the pattern on the left looks like an octopus, it was named "Tako." It had protected the main entrance of Honmaru: inner bailey.
