Honest question: is tonogodhime just another name for crib stacking? The pictures look kind of similar.

They can look similar, but the feel is different. Tonogodhime is usually a freestanding square stack with alternating 2x2 layers at right angles, built to keep the sides open and accessible.

A lot of crib stacks end up tighter and blockier (and people pack logs in however they fit). Tonogodhime is more consistent in orientation, so you get better airflow and you can harvest from all sides without tearing anything apart.

Got it. So it's not just the shape, it's the way it's kept open and accessible.
