Shobudani is an Eastern, Yamashiro area mine and is one of two Original Honyama Mines along with Nakayama. This Vintage Sen Mai has traces of Kanji on the sides which has faded over the many years it was stored in a warehouse. A super hard and extremely fine stone with amazing purity. A super hard Asagi type stone with vivid Kan Patterns. Perfect for Mikawa nagura progressions as it's density and hardness provides a beautiful canvas for reading Nagura feedback and properly breaking down the slurry.
