I'm not knocking Japanese hones, I've never owned one. But I do have a Shapton 30K and it works very well. As far as a hone being a work of art, my grandmother used to say,"Handsome is as handsome does". IOW, performance is more important then appearance. At least with a 30K you know what you are getting.
