The Sanbagawa (Sambagawa) metamorphic belt in south-west Japan suffered a high-pressure intermediate metamorphism of Cretaceous age. The regionally highest grade rocks (epidote-amphibolite facies) of the belt occur in the Besshi district in central Shikoku, and locally contain higher grade masses of coarse-grained metabasic and ultrabasic lithologies, such as the Higashiakaishi peridotite, Iratsu epidote-amphibolite, Nikubuchi peridotite and Sebadani metagabbro masses (Kunugiza et al. 1986) (Fig. 1). These masses have been regarded as large-scale tectonic blocks (maximum of 7 × 3 km2) in a mélange zone which formed at the initial stage of the uplifting of the Sanbagawa belt (Takasu 1984, Kunugiza et al. 1986). In this paper, quite a diverse origin and metamorphic history of these blocks will be revealed, and the tectonics associated with the development of the tectonic blocks will be discussed. Metamorphic history of the tectonic blocks Sebadani (SB) metagabbro mass The Sebadani (SB) metagabbro mass, 0.3 × 0.2 km2, is located in the albite-biotite zone, and consists of garnet-epidote amphibolites and relict eclogite which survived epidote amphibolization. The banding of melanocratic hornblende-rich and leucocratic epidote-rich layers records the layering of previous pyroxene and plagioclase layers of cumulate gabbro. Takasu (1984) recognized two stages of eclogite equilibrium in the SB mass; a core-core pair of 720–750°C and 12–20 kbar, and a rim-rim pair of 610–630°C and 10–17 kbar. The basic Sanbagawa schists, up to 20 m from the SB mass, underwent contact metamorphism at high pressure that produced garnet and omphacite (maximum Jd 36%) porphyroblasts from
