Kato era Nakayama Kuramaguchi Kiita with Maruka stamp! Before Hatanaka Whetstone Co was founded, Kato San owned and operated the Nakayama mine. There were various mining shafts and ore pits within the Nakayama mine and the most famous and popular Nakayama of all time are Kuramaguchi Maruka. Kuramaguchi is the name of the mining shaft/ore pit where the Kuramaguchi were mined from. Kuramaguchi Nakayama contain microscopic Su holes similar to Suita stones, which occured in all layers with the Kuramaguchi shaft. Kuramaguchi Nakayama are known for their increased cutting speed and detailed and unique Kasumi finish. Darker Kiita stone with red Iromono covering the surface. A harder Iromono, perfect for razors, tools and knives where a super fine finish is desired. The most fine and hard type of Kiita, typically. Excellent for Nagura progressions and standalone finishing, the ultimate Kiita razor finishing stone. Wide surface and great shape for either hand held honing or bench honing. Releases less abrasive unless it's forced allowing for super fine finish, very close to mirror like finish and quite bright for a Kuramaguchi Kiita.
