NOS Maruichi Nakayama Aisa. Maruichi Shokai was a popular tennen toishi wholesaler and shop which closed down decades ago. This piece is from their remaining inventory which was stored by a specialty carpentry shop in Japan. Maruichi Nakayama stones were sold/traded directly from Hatanaka/Kato inventory so this stone was processed using their inventory. maruichi stones are highly revered in the razor, knife and tool communities and for great reason. Aisa is a deeper layer/strata which sits between Namito and Suita. This Aisa features a unique, deep colored beige base which is near Azuki green.
