Thread: In the market for a Japanese Natural :)

Good luck on your quest.

I got my Nakayama Maruichi from O_S about a month ago and LOVE it. A nice Japenese natural is a stone to cherish. Finding the right one for you is a personal decision, but I'm sure you'll find one just perfect.

You know when you find/get it, you are strictly obligated to post pictures of it. Just to be fair, I JUST scanned my stone. It used to be attached to a wooden base, but I carefully removed it, read: CAREFULLY! I also applied the lacquer from O_S to the sides and the base. I have a little nagura stone made from the same type of hone, it makes the sexiest pair of Japanese stones ever.
