Just noted, the kanji above コマ stamp are very special --- 記念品 ( memento ).

How about my gigantic Tsushima Nagura?
The stone is something like 200x8cm and almost 2.5 Kilogram.

The Tsushima Nagura is a medium fine stone that starts at about 2.000 and finishes at 4-6.000.
I use this stone as intermediate polisher for my kitchen knives. I start with a 500 and work my way up to a 3.000. All synthetic.
Then I start to work with this Tsushima Nagura. It will even out the scratch pattern and give a nice crisp contrast between soft jigane and hard hagane.
Afterwards I finish on an Ohira with a small Uchigomori Ohira Nagura or an extremely fine Ozuku slurried with either another Ozuku or with a soft Nakayama.
Depending on what I want to achieve I even use Uchigomori Finger stones.

Here are my three nagura; Botan, Tenjyou, and Mejiro. As you can see, the Botan has a little bit of a different stamp than the other two, which are Asano stamped. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what the origin of the Botan is? I got it from aframestokyo if that helps.



I also got a Tsushima nagura from Maksim, and he told me to use it after Mejiro and before Tomo, so I am excited to see what kind of results it gives!

Well those are my new Lolita sweetharts naguras - almost 30 diferent tomos . from very pure , and fast stones .
Every one of them is a class by it self . 5 diferent ushigumori tomos , akapins ,tomae , Kiita tomos , assagis , Hakka , and red aoto ( isnt that the same ) suitas and the very fast Odori nagura , witch is a very fast and pure form of Micawa .
