A note on clay matrix hones:
The Japanese often coat the bottom and sides of their finishing stones in lacquer.
This does assist the hone to hold the moisture & dry more evenly.
This is not of any absolute necessity and is left to their owner.
Stones should be stored & dried in a warm, constant ambient temperature.
