Shohonyama Renge White Suita – 1272 g (approx. 148 × 87 × 45 mm) | Soft Finishing Stone
This is an authentic Shohonyama Renge White Suita (蓮華白巣板) natural finishing whetstone (Awasedo) from Kyoto, Japan, weighing 1272 g.
It features elegant Renge (lotus-flower) patterns across a soft white Suita base, giving it a refined and natural aesthetic.
As a soft-grade finishing stone, it generates slurry quickly and provides smooth, responsive sharpening feedback. It produces a gentle kasumi (mist) finish, ideal for achieving refined edges on high-quality blades.
Some natural suji (lines) are visible, but they do not affect sharpening performance.
The back and sides are sealed with Ishisan (traditional water-based protective coating) for durability and long-term preservation.
