Subject: [Tagging] historic=memorial tagging question.
How would I map this object?

It is a stone tablet memorializing when a small levee failed and washed away
part of a hamlet. This is in the park built on top of the levee repair.
these kinds of stone tablets - always a freestanding carved or etched stone
(not a plaque attached to a rock), and usually between 50cm and 2m in height,
are the most common form of memorial object in Japan (very tall, thin, cut
stone tablets anchored in the ground, covered with carved letters - not a
memorial=stone). this example is a more modern version, with very little text.
older ones are covered with text. though it looks like a headstone or a grave,
this is not a common shape for a grave marker in Japan - but for memorial
tablets.
interestingly, the sub-tag of historic=memorial, memorial=*, has a lot of
suggested values in iD, including memorial - so memorial=memorial is a commonly
tagged value (295 uses)!

to me, this is a tablet (20 uses), but if this object is better defined by
another value, I would be happy to use it.

I mapped something similar, and in the absence of a better description,
I simply used memorial=marker.
