    Ok, thank you very much. For the sake of clarity and my personal OCD issues,

    Is that translation for the label? or the Label and the stamps on top of the stone?

    If you could tell me which stamp says what that would be awesome.

    I'm a little rusty, but I believe the stamps translate as something like '330mate', whatever that means....

    a nice walk in the woods helps me relax and relieves tension....

    the fact i'm dragging a shovel and a body should be irrelevant...

    Lol- nah, this ain't from Nakaoka-san. Not that I have any issues with him, I don't - I get along well with him actually. But - this stone comes to me another way.

    One stamp is Ippon Sen, determined to mean chosen from best stone (or something like that)

    The other supposedly means Ozuku or Shiroto or both or something like that.
