Brand: Morihei 森平
Producing Area: Gunma/ Japan
Appearance: An unusual off-white, almost cream base with some orange and light umber. Most Numata skew to truer whites than this; very cool.

1-5 Scale: 1 = Less, 5 = More
Hardness Level: 4

Recommended Usage: Textured edges on both carbon and stainless, mid polishing stone in sequence, hard enough for push-cut tools.
Notes: An unusual specimen given its color and higher hardness; definitely collectable at a very good price point. Will last years and years. Despite being hard, it has decent tactile feedback making it a bit easier to use. Can take the place of finer Aizu.
