I'm quickly discovering that the world of JNats is extremely esoteric and nebulous!! True, knowledgeable experts, it seems, are a very rare commodity! That being said, I am potentially interested in acquiring two stones. The first would be a finisher for my straight razors and the second a finisher for my Heiji's and upcoming Kato's. I need help!
In any event, here some photos from a follow-up visit to Morihei. The first two are of a couple of absolutely stunning karasu! It's tough to gauge their size from the photos, but they are both significantly bigger than standard stone size. They were valued at an eye watering ¥300,000 and ¥500,000 respectively!
These two photos are of a Shohonzan stone I was looking at. It was valued at a more modest ¥30,000.
