Shohonyama Renge Suita – 966 g (approx. 161 × 87 × 31 mm) | Soft Finishing Stone with Fragrance & Pink Slurry
An authentic Japanese Whetstone (Natural Whetstone) from Kyoto’s Shohonyama region — world-renowned for producing Japan’s most refined Finishing Stones (Awasedo).
This Renge Suita (蓮華巣板) features a full lotus-flower pattern on a cloudy blue (kumori-kei) base, with delicate Karasu (crow-like) patterns gently drifting across the surface — a visually striking and highly collectible stone.
Soft in hardness, it generates a pink-colored slurry and releases a subtle perfume-like aroma when mud is raised — an elegant and rare sensory quality admired among natural whetstone enthusiasts.
The stone provides smooth and forgiving feedback, leaving a refined, slightly misty kasumi finish on both Japanese and Western kitchen knives.
The sharpening surface has been professionally lapped flat and is ready to use.
Back and sides are sealed with Ishisan (water-based protective coating) to prevent cracking and ensure long-term durability.
