The stone features a calm beige to gray base tone with bold **black "karasu" (crow) patterns** clearly visible across the surface.
This kind of sharp contrast is rare and highly valued for both aesthetic and collectible appeal.
Professionally flattened and finished. The edges and base are in excellent condition.
There is a namazu line present, but it does not interfere with sharpening.
Ideal for kitchen knives, plane blades, chisels, and fine tool edges.
A perfect balance of functionality and natural beauty.
Ships from Japan.
I received the stone quickly and very well packed.
The quality was excellent as was described in the sellers detailed description and subsequent communication.
I would highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality stones.
