SUITA AWASEDO 208 - 78 - 43mm 1.5 kg. = 3.3 lbs. A very even grained suita stone that is boarder line tomae because it is so regular in consistency. The sides are sealed in the highest quality gold urushi that has a red primer underground which is the traditional technique to give the gilt a rich glow. The stone is not cracked or damaged in any way, so the stone merchant went to this extra expense to dress up this stone as a marketing tool. A nice touch that will only help to extend the life of the stone. This is a medium hard awasedo that will draw up black iron particles quickly while yielding some paste without the use of a DN* suggesting that this stone would be good for hard steels like super blue. I would estimate that the grit would be in the upper 30,000 levels.
* Diamond Nagura, a diamond plate to induce a slurry.
