The author observed fourteen stone markers called Shanichisama in Kodama and three in Misato which are located in the north-western Saitama Prefecture, Japan. These are in the shape of pentagonal pillars with the appellations separately inscribed on their five lateral facets. This type of markers is found in the Kanto Plain, etc. In spite of their sporadic distribution, their similarity has been recognized. The markers may have been erected in the same pattern. Their instruction is described in the textbook entitled Shanichishogi written about 1781. People set up the markers according to this doctrine. It is possible that the doctrine was shared and handed down by scholars. The author also discusses their distribution. They appear sporadic not merely individually but in group patterns as observed in Kodama. It must be noted that, in Awa Province, the Shinto priest recommended that his Feudal Lord promulgate a decree to enshrine an Earth Deities in each village. The distribution of the markers has two elements: the pattern of the scholars' collaboration, and the influence exerted by individuals in certain area. The Lord held a supreme power over Awa Province in the feual days and the range of the markers' distribution is great with high density. The author is not able to identify the personages who have accepted this doctorine and exerted influence in Kodama. However, he proposes to examine the diffusion pattern of this type in the peasant's sectors in feudal and modern ages.
