The Iyo-meito has cracks on the surface of the Shiroto.
In Tobe Town, the production area of Iyo-meito, there is a district called "Nanaore." this mean is seven turn.
The road down the mountain turns seven times and was a horse-drawn road along which whetstones were transported at the time.
The plum blossoms that bloom there are a Tobe specialty and are known as "Nanaore Koume" (Seven-turn little plums), and are familiar to the people of Tobe Town.
The cracks in the whetstone were likened to the branches of a Nanaore koume tree, and so the stone came to be called "koume."
Cracks are abhorred in natural whetstones, but the Iyo Meito stone known as Koume is popular for its beautiful fine grain and does not damage the blade.
How about getting one as a finishing touch, a lifelong companion, and a companion to your favorite knife?
