 Asano Stamped Mikawa Shiro Tenjyou Nagura

Tenjyou is a middle-range Nagura. Any one piece can be finer than another, and possibly finer than a Mejiro Nagura. Most, but not every, Tenjyou are usually a bit softer than most Mejiro Nagura, and they’re also somewhat easier to work with.

This stone is soft and fast – the slurry breaks quickly initially and it will continue to refine further for some time. This is a large stone that slurries easily. 

Approx. Dimensions:  2.6 x 2.0 x 1.4” /66 x 52 x 36 mm 

Weight: 9.3 oz / 264 g
