- About Products
- This sturdy black slate, mined in the town of Ogatsu in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, originally formed as part of a geological strata two to three hundred millions ago.
It was formed by movements in the Earth’s crust during the early Cretaceous period, where the clay and mud that settled at the bottom of a deep inland sea was turned into slate.
Round plates of a size designed for versatility, with a uniquely coarse bordering.
