Anyone here have some experience with these stones? I'm considering picking one up but can't find any info about them.

Did you get one in the end. Am interested to her how they are

No I waited too long and it sold out : / I'm also still interested.

I emailed Hitohira last year and was told it is a resinoid based stone made from mix of white alumina and fine natural stone powder.

I'm pretty sure that I saw it was described as both splash and go and a soaker depending on where it was for sale. Given that it's resinoid based can you assume that it would be like a Kitayama where it is labelled as a splash and go stone, but may feel better in use when soaked/permasoaked?

The synthetic stone is made by the other producer which have made a lot of resin type stones .
