Asano Stamped Mikawa Shiro Botan Nagura
This is a particularly nice large rectangular Botan. I’ve had this one quite a while until recently it still had a large ‘B’ in black sharpie on one edge. When I first started using Nagura – I would letter them so I could tell one from another.
This piece has what I’d call medium-speed and it’s quite fine to start off with; the breaks for a good long distance also. The color is what I refer to as ‘all-white’, although there are a few grey lines running through the stone.
