Partially Striped Tenjyou Nagura
This is another piece of Tenjyou that’s been sealed on the top and sides with Cashew Lacquer. This treatment protects the stamps and limits the amount of water that will get into the stone during use.
This Tenjyou has sort of a split personality; one side is nearly white while the other side has heavy orange stripes. The resulting slurry is a mix of pasty and granular with mid-range speed. It starts off lightly aggressive and it breaks down to be quite fine. This is a very interesting stone to work with.
