## Stores checked

### JP

- [Tougei Shop](https://www.tougeishop.com/products/detail/2744/): JP¥21,859; In stock. Retrieved 2026-08-21T21:20:00Z. The current Japan-local Tougei Shop category listing shows BW-25H at ¥21,859 tax included with a quantity selector and cart controls. The shop says it aims to ship orders within three business days, but inventory can delay dispatch and large-item shipping is separate. An older indexed product listing showed ¥12,144 without defensible current cart evidence, so that older price is not used.

### US

- [The Ceramic Shop](https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/2711/banding-wheel-shimpo-25h/): $136.70; In stock. Retrieved 2026-08-21T21:21:00Z. US ceramics retailer lists Item BW25H at USD136.70, reduced from USD151.89, with Add to Cart. The requested capture showed 2 in stock; stock counts are volatile and may change before checkout. Tax, freight, and any heavy-item shipping surcharge depend on destination.

## Important notes

The 7.3kg cast-iron wheel is heavy. Lift it with a secure grip and keep fingers clear of the rotating plate and base to limit pinch injuries. The painted cast iron can rust if left wet. Wipe clay and glaze residue with a damp sponge or cloth, then dry it; do not wash the wheel with running water. Keep the wheel stable on a suitable work surface. Tax, delivery, and baggage or customs costs are separate from the listed prices.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
