Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much. Saburo learnt from one craftsman in Osaka how to make Shogi and Go boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"三輪京司\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-04.jpg?v=1730337404\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Identifying wood quality and professional drying technique\n\u003cbr\u003e We are highly proud of the quality of our boards but also all the process starting from selecting material wood through drying technique. Currently. The third generation owner Mr. Keiji MIWA has visited a lot of lumber markets all over Japan to see and feel as many as wood as possible with his own eyes and identification skill, even though many Japanese Go board manufacturers depend only on distributors to purchase material woods.\n\u003cbr\u003e Supported by his long experience, Mr. Keiji MIWA acquired a special skill to identify the best wood to make best Go and Shogi boards, making their products truly valuable that we are able to proudly introduce to our customers. Especially we want to emphasize their splendid drying process. Miwa Gobanten has kept natural drying method, among them some of the wood are dried for more than 10 years long.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Carving on legs\n\u003cbr\u003e People say that carving on board legs always requires patience of craftsman. Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"三輪碁盤店\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-05.jpg?v=1730337404\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process. Japanese lacquer as painting material is hard to handle as it is easily affected by temperature and humidity. By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\nWhat is \"China grown Kaya\" wood?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\nKaya is regarded as one of the best materials to make Go and Shogi boards, because of its good sound and feel when placing the stones, moderate elasticity, beautiful grain, color, gloss and luster, and aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are three types of kaya trees: \"Hyuga kaya\" which is grown and harvested in a mountainous area in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan, \"Japanese-grown honkaya\" which is grown in other areas of Japan, and \"China-grown honkaya\" which is mainly grown in Yunnan Province, China.

Generally, Japanese-grown honkaya is said to be better than Chinese honkaya in terms of quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese kaya tends to be less valued than Japanese kaya due to its reddish wood color,

Generally, Japanese-grown honkaya is said to be better than Chinese honkaya in terms of quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese kaya tends to be less valued than Japanese kaya due to its reddish wood color,

Japanese kaya is usually lighter and more yellowish in color and has a unique wood aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nDepending on your preference, Japanese kaya is generally more highly valued than Chinese kaya, and the value and price of Japanese kaya tends to be higher due to the rarity of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn order to make a one-piece Go\/Shogi board or board with legs, it is necessary to get a large tree between 200 and 800 years old.However, since logging is now prohibited in many forests in Japan, large-diameter kaya wood is almost impossible to find on the

the history of more than 100 years. Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much. Saburo learnt from one craftsman in Osaka how to make Shogi and Go boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"三輪京司\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-04.jpg?v=1730337404\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Identifying wood quality and professional drying technique\n\u003cbr\u003e We are highly proud of the quality of our boards but also all the process starting from selecting material wood through drying technique. Currently. The third generation owner Mr. Keiji MIWA has visited a lot of lumber markets all over Japan to see and feel as many as wood as possible with his own eyes and identification skill, even though many Japanese Go board manufacturers depend only on distributors to purchase material woods.\n\u003cbr\u003e Supported by his long experience, Mr. Keiji MIWA acquired a special skill to identify the best wood to make best Go and Shogi boards, making their products truly valuable that we are able to proudly introduce to our customers. Especially we want to emphasize their splendid drying process. Miwa Gobanten has kept natural drying method, among them some of the wood are dried for more than 10 years long.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Carving on legs\n\u003cbr\u003e People say that carving on board legs always requires patience of craftsman. Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"三輪碁盤店\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-05.jpg?v=1730337404\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process. Japanese lacquer as painting material is hard to handle as it is easily affected by temperature and humidity. By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!--

grows straight, is odorless, has low oil content, is easy to process, and is in good supply, making it relatively inexpensive to produce Go\/shogi boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e Spruce board is sold at an affordable price but it has a similar grain and color to honkaya but is not as high quality as honkaya wood.\n\u003cbr\u003e The quality of the spruce is comparable to that of honkaya or Hyuga kaya, but it is less prone to deformation and cracking.\n\u003cbr\u003e Spruce wood is also used as SPF (spruce, pine, fir) material for furniture and building materials, but unlike kaya wood, it shows significant deterioration over time, such as changes in wood color, and has a shorter life span.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e *Go board materials are explained detail in \"How to choose a

the history of more than 100 years. Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much. Saburo learnt from one craftsman in Osaka how to make Shogi and Go boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Identifying wood quality and professional drying technique\n\u003cbr\u003e We are highly proud of the quality of our boards but also all the process starting from selecting material wood through drying technique. Currently. The third generation owner Mr. Keiji MIWA has visited a lot of lumber markets all over Japan to see and feel as many as wood as possible with his own eyes and identification skill, even though many Japanese Go board manufacturers depend only on distributors to purchase material woods.\n\u003cbr\u003e Supported by his long experience, Mr. Keiji MIWA acquired a special skill to identify the best wood to make best Go and Shogi boards, making their products truly valuable that we are able to proudly introduce to our customers. Especially we want to emphasize their splendid drying process. Miwa Gobanten has kept natural drying method, among them some of the wood are dried for more than 10 years long.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Carving on legs\n\u003cbr\u003e People say that carving on board legs always requires patience of craftsman. Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process. Japanese lacquer as painting material is hard to handle as it is easily affected by temperature and humidity. By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!--

grows straight, is odorless, has low oil content, is easy to process, and is in good supply, making it relatively inexpensive to produce Go\/shogi boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e Spruce board is sold at an affordable price but it has a similar grain and color to honkaya but is not as high quality as honkaya wood.\n\u003cbr\u003e The quality of the spruce is comparable to that of honkaya or Hyuga kaya, but it is less prone to deformation and cracking.\n\u003cbr\u003e Spruce wood is also used as SPF (spruce, pine, fir) material for furniture and building materials, but unlike kaya wood, it shows

Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process.

By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\nWhat is \"China grown Kaya\" wood?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\nKaya is regarded as one of the best materials to make Go and Shogi boards, because of its good sound and feel when placing the stones, moderate elasticity, beautiful grain, color, gloss and luster, and aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are three types of kaya trees: \"Hyuga kaya\" which is grown and harvested in a mountainous area in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan, \"Japanese-grown honkaya\" which is grown in other areas of Japan, and \"China-grown honkaya\" which is mainly grown in Yunnan Province, China.

Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process. Japanese lacquer as painting material is hard to handle as it is easily affected by temperature and humidity. By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\nWhat is \"China grown Kaya\" wood?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\nKaya is regarded as one of the best materials to make Go and Shogi boards, because of its good sound and feel when placing the stones, moderate elasticity, beautiful grain, color, gloss and luster, and aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are three types of kaya trees: \"Hyuga kaya\" which is grown and harvested in a mountainous area in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan, \"Japanese-grown honkaya\" which is grown in other areas of Japan, and \"China-grown honkaya\" which is mainly grown in Yunnan Province, China.

Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much. Saburo learnt from one craftsman in Osaka how to make Shogi and Go boards.\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"三輪京司\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-04.jpg?v=1730337404\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-04.jpg?v=1730337404\"\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"三輪碁盤店\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-05.jpg?v=1730337404\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/miwa-05.jpg?v=1730337404\"\u003e\n            ■Philosophy and Passion: Identifying wood quality and professional drying technique\n\u003cbr\u003e We are highly proud of the quality of our boards but also all the process starting from selecting material wood through drying technique.

Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much.

Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process. Japanese lacquer as painting material is hard to handle as it is easily affected by temperature and humidity. By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\nWhat is \"China grown Kaya\" wood?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\nKaya is regarded as one of the best materials to make Go and Shogi boards, because of its good sound and feel when placing the stones, moderate elasticity, beautiful grain, color, gloss and luster, and aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are three types of kaya trees: \"Hyuga kaya\" which is grown and harvested in a mountainous area in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan, \"Japanese-grown honkaya\" which is grown in other areas of Japan, and \"China-grown honkaya\" which is mainly grown in Yunnan Province, China.

Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much. Saburo learnt from one craftsman in Osaka how to make Shogi and Go boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Identifying wood quality and professional drying technique\n\u003cbr\u003e We are highly proud of the quality of our boards but also all the process starting from selecting material wood through drying technique. Currently. The third generation owner Mr. Keiji MIWA has visited a lot of lumber markets all over Japan to see and feel as many as wood as possible with his own eyes and identification skill, even though many Japanese Go board manufacturers depend only on distributors to purchase material woods.\n\u003cbr\u003e Supported by his long experience, Mr. Keiji MIWA acquired a special skill to identify the best wood to make best Go and Shogi boards, making their products truly valuable that we are able to proudly introduce to our customers. Especially we want to emphasize their splendid drying process. Miwa Gobanten has kept natural drying method, among them some of the wood are dried for more than 10 years long.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Carving on legs\n\u003cbr\u003e People say that carving on board legs always requires patience of craftsman. Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions.

Japanese kaya is usually lighter and more yellowish in color and has a unique wood aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nDepending on your preference, Japanese kaya is generally more highly valued than Chinese kaya, and the value and price of Japanese kaya tends to be higher due to the rarity of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn order to make a one-piece Go\/Shogi board or board with legs, it is

the history of more than 100 years. Now the workshop and shop are owned and operated by Mr. Keiji MIWA with his official artist name \"KEIHO\". He is the third generation owner, following Mr. Saburo MIWA as the first generation and Mr. Yasuharu MIWA as the second generation. The origin dates back to the first owner Mr Saburo MIWA, who was a craftsman of Hako Hibachi (box type brazier), loved Shogi and Igo very much. Saburo learnt from one craftsman in Osaka how to make Shogi and Go boards.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Identifying wood quality and professional drying technique\n\u003cbr\u003e We are highly proud of the quality of our boards but also all the process starting from selecting material wood through drying technique. Currently. The third generation owner Mr. Keiji MIWA has visited a lot of lumber markets all over Japan to see and feel as many as wood as possible with his own eyes and identification skill, even though many Japanese Go board manufacturers depend only on distributors to purchase material woods.\n\u003cbr\u003e Supported by his long experience, Mr. Keiji MIWA acquired a special skill to identify the best wood to make best Go and Shogi boards, making their products truly valuable that we are able to proudly introduce to our customers. Especially we want to emphasize their splendid drying process. Miwa Gobanten has kept natural drying method, among them some of the wood are dried for more than 10 years long.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: Carving on legs\n\u003cbr\u003e People say that carving on board legs always requires patience of craftsman. Carving work using a small knife is not a simple work. They finish carving and engraving just a few pieces in a day. Furthermore, it also requires additional polishing work that usually takes several days more to finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e ■Philosophy and Passion: tachimori\n\u003cbr\u003e The symbol of high-end Go and Shogi board is Tachimori, making lines on board using a Japanese sword. Miwa Gobanten adopts a special Tachimori technique called ‘Yarai’. They apply Japanese lacquer on the tip of sword blade and gently press and print it down on the wooden board. This method enables them to make beautiful, gentle, smooth and elegant lines that can be only accomplished by a manual work. These boards with Tachimori lines are true value of Miwa Keiji as the top artisan in this field.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e He has long experience in board making and knows how the weather and humidity will affect lacquer conditions. He accumulated all kinds of data so that he will able to fully utilize these information in his Tachimori process. Japanese lacquer as painting material is hard to handle as it is easily affected by temperature and humidity. By fully utilizing both of his experience and accumulated data, he always tries to produce the best of best quality Go and Shogi boards from his workshop.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\nWhat is \"Japan grown-Kaya\" wood?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\nKaya is regarded as one of the best materials to make Go and Shogi boards, because of its good sound and feel when placing the stones, moderate elasticity, beautiful grain, color, gloss and luster, and aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are three types of kaya trees: \"Hyuga Kaya\" which is grown and harvested in a mountainous area in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan, \"Japanese-grown honkaya\" which is grown in other areas of Japan, and \"Chinese-grown honkaya\" which is mainly grown in Yunnan Province, China. \u003cbr\u003e\nGenerally, Japanese-grown honkaya is said to be better than Chinese honkaya in terms of quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe main difference between Japanese and Chinese kaya is the wood quality, caused by the natural environment where the tree was grown.
