from
Wikipedia
According to the legend, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ran out of stones when building the original three-story castle keep, and an old woman heard about his trouble.
It was said that people who heard the story were inspired and also offered stones to Hideyoshi, speeding up construction of the castle.
To this day, the supposed stone can be seen covered with a wire net in the middle of one of the stone walls in the castle complex.
