Based in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, Morihei is a name held in high regard within the world of Japanese blades and sharpening, with a history that stretches back over a century. At its height, more than twenty groups of blacksmiths and sharpeners worked under the Morihei name — a reflection of its deep heritage and influence in the craft.
Best known today for its exceptional range of whetstones and natural sharpening stones, Morihei continues to preserve the long-standing relationships between traditional blacksmiths and stonemakers — one of the few remaining companies in Japan still doing so.
