Specialty product:
Amakusa Whetstone
The woodgrain-like pattern of the Amakusa Whetstone gives it a beautiful and unique appearance.
The stone's medium grit is said to be among the best for sharpening blades and is widely used all over Japan.
When German scientist Philipp Franz von Siebold and others visited Nagasaki's Dejima in 1823, they brought back to the Netherlands with them more than 300 Japanese carpentry tools. Among them was a whetstone with the word "Amakusa-ishi" (Amakusa stone) on it, which is still on display at the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, Netherlands as a collection of Siebold's artifacts.
