Authentic Japanese Natural Whetstone from Shohonyama, Kyoto.
This Tomae Nashiji Yūrei-Karasu is a rare finishing stone featuring a beautiful Nashiji (pear-skin) texture combined with a distinctive Yūrei-Karasu (Ghost Karasu) pattern. As a thick Sanjū Kiri (30-cut type) stone, it offers excellent durability and a large, stable sharpening surface.
Its hard, fine-grained structure provides outstanding polishing performance, crisp yet smooth sharpening feedback, and produces a bright, refined finish. A natural suji is present but does not affect sharpening performance.
Highly valued by collectors and professional sharpeners, this stone is ideal for kitchen knives, chisels, plane blades, razors, and other precision edge tools.
