Thank you for viewing. This is a listing for a brand new, unused natural whetstone, Honzan Awasedo, Kyoto-made, Asahi-Tora brand, with a box. I have been storing it at home, but have decided to list it. [New and Unused] Kyoto-made Awasedo is recognized for its highest quality. It is called by different names by different vendors, such as "Jun Honzan Awasedo," "Sei Honzan Awasedo," and "Junsui Honzan Awasedoishi." I believe this is a product that is known to those in the know. It is currently a very difficult product to obtain, so please consider purchasing it early. The size of this item is as shown in the photos. The longest and thickest parts have been measured. It has been stored at home for a long time. The box is deteriorated, but the whetstone is a new, unused item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. Please note that I do not know the details regarding whetstones. This is a used item that has been in someone's possession once. No returns or claims will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
