Mizukihara Uchigumori Renge

An extremely large and rare Uchigumori natural stone from Mizukihara.
The Mizukihara (水木原) quarry is located in western Kyoto, at Mount Ōhira. The quarry is especially known as one of the few sources of genuine Uchigumori stones, which are used in traditional Japanese polishing.

This stone has a light pistachio tone with renge (lotus-pattern inclusions).

Dimensions: 224 x 80 x 55 mm
Weight: 2390 grams

Perfect for kasumi finishing and fine polishing, where it delivers an incredibly smooth and controlled surface. Mizukihara stones are known for their slightly higher cutting efficiency and ease of use, making them especially appreciated by both knife makers and fine sharpeners.

The result is a silky, even finish and a sharply defined edge – the kind of finish that only a genuine Uchigumori can produce.

A stone for the collector or the serious craftsman seeking the absolute best.
