Ran across a place over the weekend selling natural Japanese waterstones - the previous owner had bought them in Japan, but this guy couldn't read Japanese and didn't know anything about them. He just wanted to shift them because they'd been lying around his shop for 8 years or so...
Anyway, the price was so low I picked one up with the idea of trying it out - no big loss if it doesn't work out.
Can anyone tell me anything about this stone? I haven't got a clue what I bought.
