Based in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, Morihei has been part of the Japanese blade world for over a century. At one time, more than twenty groups of blacksmiths and sharpeners worked under the Morihei name — a reflection of just how deeply embedded it was in the craft.
Today, Morihei is best known for its exceptional range of whetstones and natural sharpening stones. It remains one of the few companies in Japan still maintaining long-standing relationships between blacksmiths and traditional stonemakers — a connection that speaks to continuity, trust, and respect for the work itself.
