According to local legend, Okiku, the daughter of Toyotomi Hidetsugu, was traveling to Osaka Castle as a secret messenger for her husband, who had sided with the Toyotomi forces during the Summer Siege of Osaka. While passing through these mountains, she cut off her hair and buried it beneath a pine tree so that she could disguise herself as a man. Today, a stone monument commemorating Okiku stands at the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis stone has a hardness of approximately \u003cstrong\u003eLv. 4.5+ on a five-level scale\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its sharpening surface is considerably harder than that of a typical medium-grit stone and remains highly stable during use, allowing precise sharpening while maintaining the flatness of the blade surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDuring test sharpening, the stone did not naturally produce a large amount of slurry. Instead, it gave the impression that abrasive particles firmly fixed within its hard, dense surface were directly cutting the steel. Its sharpening action therefore appears to rely more on fixed abrasives than on slurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eRather than creating a soft, hazy finish on the cladding, it tends to refine the existing scratches while producing a brighter, tighter luster. Its character differs markedly from that of softer medium-grit stones that generate abundant slurry, and it is particularly effective for sharpening an edge or maintaining a precise, flat bevel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eFor this reason, it is especially suitable for woodworking tools whose sharpening surfaces require a high degree of flatness, including planes, chisels, kiridashi knives, utility knives, and carving tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOn traditional Japanese knives such as Deba, Yanagiba, and Usuba, it can be used to adjust the steel edge and refine the scratches left by a coarser medium-grit stone. It may also be used on high-hardness kitchen knives to refine the edge geometry after the coarse-sharpening stage and prepare the blade for the next finishing step. This makes it an interesting intermediate finisher or pre-finisher before moving on to a finer natural finishing stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eHowever, this is not a particularly aggressive stone. It is therefore unsuitable for repairing large chips, substantially changing the edge geometry, or quickly removing deep scratches left by a coarse stone. Its qualities are best utilized after the foundation has been properly prepared with a coarse stone or a more abrasive synthetic medium-grit stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAs the stone produces relatively little slurry on its own, the use of a diamond plate or Nagura is recommended when necessary. Preparing slurry beforehand improves the initial sharpening response and provides a gentler feel against the blade. It can also help reduce the brightness of the finish on the soft cladding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eOn the other hand, this stone may not be ideal for knives with uneven wide bevels, soft stainless cladding, or applications requiring a uniform, soft \u003cem\u003ekasumi\u003c\/em\u003e finish created with abundant slurry. Because an extremely hard stone selectively contacts the higher areas of a blade, an insufficiently flattened bevel may develop isolated polished areas and an uneven or patchy appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhen finishing a wide bevel, we recommend flattening and preparing the bevel thoroughly, generating slurry beforehand, and sharpening with light pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eCollected near the historic Okikumatsu site in Sennan, this exceptionally hard natural medium-grit stone offers excellent surface stability and a distinctive ability to produce a bright, tightly refined finish on soft cladding. It is recommended for users who value precise edge formation and flat-surface sharpening rather than the softer, slurry-rich action of conventional medium-grit stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ePlease note that these are not for beginner sharpeners since they're harder to use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e.
