I doubt that they send inferior products to the rest of the world. Most likely they select some parts supporting their local most competitive market and serving local distributors demands first.
Otono-Edison MC cartridges
As you may know the Miyajima is an export brand of Otono-Edison.
There is a line of Otono-Edison cartridges for Japanese market only.
Otono-Edison cartridge like "Standard Mature Wood" and just a "Mature Wood" updated with Skillfull and Technique model as I can see on the original Japanese site on needle replacement page (from the manufacturer).
The Mature Studio BE/SW equal to famous Miyajima Shilabe.
However, I need a manual for Otono-Edison Standard Mature Wood MC which is no longer in the list of cartridges here ***
Anyone can help with info about Standard Mature Wood cartridge ?
