There are a couple of reasons to wash knives separately from other dishes.

One of the reasons is safety. If you have knives in the sink with the other dishes, there is a good chance that you reach in for a dish, and you slide your hand across a blade instead. It could cut you wide open before you even realized it was there.

Another reason is to maintain the quality of your knives. When other items bump into the blades in the sink, it damages the edge. Small dings and chips will dull the knife, as well as make it harder to sharpen.

Why should Japanese knives not be sharpened using an oil stone?

There is no reason Japanese knives should not be sharpened as knives from any other place. This misconception may arise from a coating some companies put on their knives (which can be rubbed off), or the fact that top-quality knives are Damask steel. Damask steel is steel that has been folded several times (occasionally several hundred or even several thousand times). If folded enough, this steel essentially does not dull, so there would be no point to sharpening knives of this sort.
