Vintage 1980s ㋕ MARUKA Nakayama Lv5 617g
Japanese Natural Whetstone from JAPAN b948
Thank you for your interest in my items.
I am selling a lot of used items from the Showa era (~1989).
Many of the mines have already been closed down and are now being molded and sold from a limited stock of raw stones.
For example, there are only a limited number of companies that store and sell rough stones from the Nakayama mine (including the Kato mine), but they are sold by companies that do not own the rough stones and use the "Nakayama" printing.
The "Nakayama Mine" (including the Kato Mine) that I sell is purchased directly from the rightful owner.
There are also vendors who sell grinding stones from China as "Sho-honyama".
Many of the used stones I sell are excellent stones that were sold during the heyday of natural grinding stones in Kyoto.
These stones were used by professional barbers, carpenters, and chefs.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you very much.

The "Hatanaka Toishi Company" of Kyoto has been for generations the premier
stone company providing the best sharpening stones from all of the Honyama mines.
The Hatanaka Co. were the main outlet of Nakayama stones for years,
they maintained close ties with Mr. Kato, owner of the Nakayama mine.
Eventually Hatanaka became
the owner of the Nakayama mine.
The last Nakayama minings were between 1972-1982 and 1985-1988.
