There are more than 6 sub mines of Nakayama.
At the bottom is Mizumafu.
He provide blue gray hard stones well.
Most of entrance was broken.
And Mizumafu will be broken in the near future.
Pillars are corrupt.

My elder master is the last miner of Nakayama.
He is 75 years old.
Nakayama closed about 30 years old ,but few uncut stones are available in his home.
I know some miner of Nakayama ,but most of them are died.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Do you have a picture of the narutaki mine as well?
I think we would love to see some of those pics from your blog of you digging

What are the differences between stones from Hitomi-san and Yamakan-san. What is the availability of Kouzaki-aoto.

Ok thanks
