Shohonyama Renge Suita – 1248 g (approx. 190 × 85 × 35 mm) | Fragrant Ōhira Lot
An authentic Japanese Whetstone (Natural Whetstone) from Kyoto’s Shohonyama region — this Sō-Renge Suita originates from the rare and highly regarded Ōhira Renge Suita lot, celebrated for its subtle perfume-like fragrance released when raising slurry.
This graceful aroma, paired with beautiful renge (lotus-flower) patterns covering the surface, gives the stone both aesthetic refinement and collector appeal.
Soft in hardness, it produces slurry easily and provides smooth, controlled feedback with a misty kasumi finish.
Natural suji (lines) are present but do not affect performance, ensuring a stable and enjoyable sharpening experience.
The back and sides are sealed with Ishisan (water-based protective coating) for durability and long-term preservation.
