Bright yellow Nakayama Maruka kiita with lime green cloudy highlights.
It does look like suita, but I thought karasu only showed up in the aisa layer ?Looks like suita to me.
When looking at the map with the different layers they place karasu in the aisa. I have seen Nakayama, Ohira, Takshima suitas from reputable vendors. From what I have read karasu can definitely show up in Tenjou suita. Not sure about the rest of the suita layers.It does look like suita, but I thought karasu only showed up in the aisa layer ?
This stone is slower than molasses in January, but it is absolutely amazing to hone on...the slurry breaks down for days and just keeps polishing. The tomo that came with it was nearly as long as my femur. I cut three pieces the size of my palm and I have a few stones left over. Nakayama Maruichi Kamisori; pure finisher. 135x83x35. One pic with stamps and one without.

A pair of kiitas. One of them a super pure 33mm thick bench stone, the other a Nakayama with sparkly black kawa and gorgeous robin’s egg blue highlights.

Thanks, I would say it's hard but maybe not razor finisher hard. Perfect for a high level finish on kanna or yanagiba, and fast too.That's a beaut. What is the hardness level on it like?
