Am I correct in thinking these are often softer, very fine stones that release some mud?
To generalize or stereotype jnats is pretty hard to do. Some of the tomae strata (48 layers remember) are getting into translucent arkansas hardness (not quite but close). Uchigumori are typically very soft but there are always exceptions. Not sure where you're getting your info from?
I have uchigumori from HS36 to HS71 so difficult to generalize..
"Soft" is often a feeling, it has nothing to do with real hardness. Grain size is another point.
