This is a genuine **Japanese natural finishing whetstone** (Awasedo / 合砥) quarried from the historic **Shohonyama** (正本山) area in Kyoto — the most renowned source of premium Kyoto natural sharpening stones. The stone is classified as **Asagi** (浅黄), a classic light yellowish-gray type prized for its fine grain and excellent polishing performance.
Special note**: This is a genuine **Showa-era (昭和時代)** product — a piece from Japan's mid-20th century golden age of natural whetstone mining, before many veins were exhausted. These older Shohonyama stones are increasingly rare and sought after by serious sharpeners and collectors for their consistent quality and traditional character.
Comes mounted on a **wooden base (木台付)** for stability and ease of use. A timeless, high-performance natural stone that embodies classic Kyoto craftsmanship — perfect for achieving razor-sharp, long-lasting edges with that distinctive "toothy yet refined" Japanese finish.
