Thank you for your interest in my items.

I am selling a lot of used items from the Showa era (~1989).

Many of the mines have already been closed down and are now being molded and sold from a limited stock of raw stones.

 For example, there are only a limited number of companies that store and sell rough stones from the Nakayama mine (including the Kato mine), but they are sold by companies that do not own the rough stones and use the "Nakayama" printing.

The "Nakayama Mine" (including the Kato Mine) that I sell is purchased directly from the rightful owner.

There are also vendors who sell grinding stones from China as "Sho-honyama".

Many of the used stones I sell are excellent stones that were sold during the heyday of natural grinding stones in Kyoto.

These stones were used by professional barbers, carpenters, and chefs.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you very much.

Request (Important)

1: First test of the natural stone.

Please do not erase the stamp on the polished surface.

Please do not erase it. Once the stamp is gone, it will be difficult to return or refund.

2: If the test does not show any problems.

The abrasive surface of this stone has been adjusted by machine, but it is expected to deteriorate over time.

Please readjust the abrasive surface with a ceramic grinding stone, etc.

3: Adjust the grinding surface, whether it is new or used.
4: If you need cashew protection other than the grinding surface, please ask for it at the time of purchase.
We will protect it with a transparent water-soluble protective solution.
