In the area extending from near the summit of Mt. Sennoyama to the eastern side of the mountain lies the Fukuishi Ore Deposit, which contains silver ore. The ore is not particularly hard, so it could be excavated quite efficiently. Moreover, it was a combination of minerals that allowed the silver to be easily extracted using a smelting technique called cupellation. Thus, it led to the mass production of silver.
