Although the name Nisshozan is not as widely known as the famous Ohira quarry, high-quality Suita stones from this source are in no way inferior to the legendary Ohira Renge Suita specimens in terms of their properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nisshozan quarry is part of the Kyoto region\u2019s tradition of natural polishing stones, which has produced many of Japan\u2019s most famous finishing stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This stone is softer, with a hardness of approximately 3.7 on the Mohs scale, which makes it very pleasant and smooth to work with. Despite the lines characteristic of the Suita layers, they do not cause any problems during use. The stone generates a polishing slurry quickly and evenly, providing the user with excellent feedback and a sense of control throughout the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kasumi finish achieved with this stone is bright, clean, and refined. It perfectly highlights the structure and contrast of different blade materials, and the surface appears virtually \u201escratch-free,\u201c except when viewed in extremely bright direct light. This finish is particularly valued by restorers and collectors of traditional Japanese knives and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nisshozan Shiro Suita is an exceptionally versatile stone suitable for a wide variety of tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>for the final sharpening of kitchen knives;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>polishing paste;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>for carpentry tools;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>for scissors;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>for the care of traditional Japanese irons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely this type of high-quality Suita stone that has established the Kyoto region\u2019s reputation worldwide for its exceptional natural whetstones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Shiro Suita is further adorned with vivid red \u201elotus blossoms,\u201c known in Japanese as renge. This rare pattern, highly prized by collectors, not only gives the stone a distinctive appearance, but also evokes the most famous historical Renge Suita specimens, which are today considered among the most sought-after natural Japanese stones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li>Suitable for finishing knives, scissors, carpentry and other tools.
