Thanked: 18Kanayama address
Gentlemen,
I am going to Tokyo in early November. If anyone knows, can I get Mr Naomi's address. I would love to visit and pick up a strop if possible.
Many thanks.

Thanked: 480And I would suggest writing to them first, and making sure that a visit would be welcomed. Old masters can be picky about when people can stop in.

Thanked: 104Good luck Rami, hope you get an inside look.
As a point of interest, the apparent shortage of Kanayama's around the globe, isn't going to go for too much longer. Takeshi from AframesTokyo, is out of stock, but has it on good authority that the old master is indeed producing strops to fill orders. word is they are a month away. If you are desperate for one now, JNS have three or four, but at $550 AUD for an #80000 is having himself on. I found Fendrihan to be good, they have the #70,#80, #50 and a few more, The #70 at $235 USD was good value. (Aframes #70 was $188 usd, but they slam you with a $45 US postage, that makes them about $2 cheaper than Fendrihan. (Who send using DHL $19 5-6 days from anywhere in the world.)
Good luck in Tokyo bro
