Classic Shobudani Kiita with nashiji and faint, underlying iromono blush. This kiita posses wonderful hardness and fast cutting speed. Very similar to the infamous Nakayama Kiita in feel and performance. This piece represents a great value being a bit smaller than a full sized bench stone. Shobudani stones are becoming more rare by the year. Especially stones like Kiita and Suita.
