I've recently bought an 8000grit King brand waterstone. I'm curious to know what is written on the box and on the small card inside the box. So, I've scanned the box and the card, saved the images as best I could and am hoping the text is clear enough for someone to translate.....please.

It is difficult to find a translation site when the text is in graphical format. Instead, I found a rather good post about Japanese waterstones in a rec.woodworking FAQ post on May 1, 1994 - at the time it was maintained by Ken Smith. I'm sure whatever is on the stone is covered there.
