This is mine. It came lapped on both sides so I can use the side without the Kanji and keep the Kanji alive. Got it from So Yamash*ta, great guy, before the prices went sky high, i.e. before Lynn started playing with them.
My one only J-Nat.Shoubudani Asagi. A fantastic finisher from Maxim.

Ozuku Asagi, Tenjyou Nagura and two Tomo Naguras. The middle Nagura makes a slurry fairly quick, the right one takes forever.And yes, the lower right corner just chipped, I guess these are a bit more fragile than I thought, I'll try and take better care of it... :gaah:
Done, thank you Alx.
Here is a Nakayama Maruka Asagi,
It just arrived, so I haven't tried it out yet.
Lapping will be done tonight:)

@Blazinrazor: I am sending you a PM regarding J-Nats, if you still need some advice (other than that you would get from an honorable vendor).
I have posted these before but I will probably not get tired of sharing these pictures

The first picture shows my japanese naturals collection.
From left to right we have the following stones:
- Suita Kiita, for sharpening kitchen knives
- Oohira Asagi, with light green
- Nakayama Kiita, excellent fineness
- Shoubudani Asagi, probably my personal favourite
And these Nagura, or rubbing stones
- Two large medium fine stones (brwon-red and light asagi)
- Uchigomori Suita (on top of the bigger light asagi)
- Tsushima Nagura, the black square one (medium-fine)
- Asano Mejiro Nagura, quite fine
- Two Tomonagura, the black chip and the blue greenish one
Also attached: the bevel after 1µm lapping film and 100 laps on the Ozuku. The overall polish is still very good!
