Product Summary: This is a Japanese natural whetstone (JNAT) from the Shohonyama quarry. It is a "Shiro Suita" (White Suita) stone featuring "Aka Renge" (Red Lotus) patterns. It functions as a finishing stone that produces a refined cloudy/matte finish on blades.

Condition: The item is pre-owned and classified as "Grade B." The stone is slightly on the harder side (medium-hard). The seller recommends using a Nagura stone to develop slurry for optimal gliding. Please note that there are natural lines on the sharpening surface that may be felt during use. All sides except the sharpening surface have been lacquered (sealed) for protection. Significant natural textures and color variations are visible, as shown in the photos.
