The Nakayama quarry, located in Kyoto, is one of the most famous and highly regarded sources of natural whetstones in Japan. Stones from Nakayama are celebrated for their hardness, fine grit structure, and exceptional polishing ability, especially for achieving the soft misty contrast of kasumi on high-quality knives and tools. Because the quarry has long been closed, genuine Nakayama stones are increasingly rare and highly prized by collectors and professionals alike.
