Nothing special, just my primary workers...

Nakayama Asagi top
Oohira tomae (i believe)
 
Some of my Nakayama Maruka Kiitas :)
I just love these stones !!! Nakayama Kiitas is usually much harder and finer then say from Ohira or other mines.
Very very expensive stones ! But beauty and performance is just hard to beat.
Price on them have skyrocket in the last couple of years. And the really hard and fine ones is more then 500 euro just for koppa or razor size, if you can find one :D
The Kiita colors vary from deep orange to lemon yellow

We really must have a talk about those Marukas Maksim....
I'll put up a pic or two of some of mine soon:)
 
I bring them with me so you can test on razors :)
 
Another Nakayama Kiita with a lot of su (suita)
Quite fine and hard stone very very good feedback and super fast because of su.

Red Aoto, Hakka Renge, Nakayama Asagi, Shoubudani Asagi, and the little one is a Oozuku Asagi.

My latest 2 acquisitions
Ozuko Mizuasagi for razor finishing -one of the hardest stones I have seen so far.

Second is Ohira Suita, very hard but does not scratch soft cladding and makes very nice mirror with light haze on hard steel.
