Pickup from my recent trip to Japan. I can't find them available anywhere outside of Japan, so I figured a few of y'all would like to check em out, so I grabbed a few extras.
First of all, this is not a Chosera. I do not know a lot about these stones, as this is the first time I've ever seen them. Only one shop I visited in Japan had Naniwa stones, and these stood out from their limited supply. I can't say what line these are from, due to a lack of info online, but the one I am using has good feedback after soaking. I don't own any other 8000 grit stones to compare it to, but it feels a bit softer than what I expected. I quite enjoy using it.
If any of you wonderful folk have any further details on this line of stones, I would love your input!
From my experience: If you're looking for your unicorn chosera snow white 8000, this is not gonna scratch that itch. But if you want a nice affordable Naniwa 8000 grit stone, with good feedback, and a beautiful bright white color, this will be perfect for you.
Size: 210mm X 51mm
Weight: 584g
Asking: $70, Including US shipping and paypal fees
