That explains a lot Alx, when I visited you I recall quite a few of your beloved stones had some Iromono. Some of the best examples I have laid eyes on and that is no exageration!

Here is my Nakayama Kurumaguchi with what I think is Iromono. It is super fast and very fine, my favorite stone. It made it as a reference on fikira's historyrazor web page. My pride and joy! Lol!Name:  DSC01203.jpg
