木ぼく石せき漢かん

noun

unfeeling person; callous person; heartless person

Rare literary term for a person as unfeeling as wood or stone. Not used in everyday conversation; modern Japanese would more often use 無情な人 or 冷たい人.

• 彼かれはまるで木ぼく石せき漢かんのように、人ひとの苦くるしみに無む関かん心しんだった。

  He was indifferent to people's suffering, just like a heartless person.
