I am not quite sure which link your are refering to. Perhaps the Babashoten website? (but i don't know if they have japanese stones) In that case, there is no English version of the site (This applies to make of the foreign sites). With a lot of the Japanese sites, they don't sell internatonally, so you'll have to make use of a middleman (proxy service) to make purchases.

If you are looking for japanese stones I strongly recommend looking at http://www.japan-tool.com/ and contact the owner, So Yamashita. He is quite fluent in english eliminating the language barrier and can help you find what you are looking for (or make recommendations for what you should be looking for) Heck, if you ask him, he'll sometimes put a stone you are interested in up on eBay so that you can get it cheaper. You could probably just haggle with him a little bit too to get a firm price instead
