pottery produced in the Kiyomizu-dera Temple area was especially called “Kiyomizu-yaki” (Kiyomizu ware).\u003cbr\u003e\nOn the other hand, the general term for ceramics made in Kyoto from the Momoyama

by feudal lords and court nobles, they competed with each other to produce pottery favored by samurai and court nobles, which greatly enhanced the decorative and artistic qualities as well as the technical aspects, such as ease of use.\u003cbr\u003e\nTherefore, the gorgeous and delicate paintings are characteristic of Kyoto, which has nurtured its own unique art culture such as “Cha-no-yu”

pottery produced in the Kiyomizu-dera Temple area was especially called “Kiyomizu-yaki” (Kiyomizu ware).\u003cbr\u003e\nOn the other hand, the general term for ceramics made in Kyoto from the Momoyama Period to the early Edo Period is “Kyo-yaki,” and thus “Kyo-yaki Kiyomizu-yaki” are the official names for the ceramics.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition, since the pottery was often used for tea ceremonies by feudal lords and court nobles, they competed with each other to produce pottery favored by samurai and court nobles, which greatly enhanced the decorative and artistic qualities as well as the technical aspects, such as ease of use.\u003cbr\u003e\nTherefore, the gorgeous and delicate paintings are characteristic of Kyoto, which has nurtured its own unique art culture such as “Cha-no-yu”

Prefecture for over 300 years.\n\u003cbr\u003e After applying lacquer several dozens of times, a polishing finish is applied to create a profound and artistic pattern.\n\u003cbr\u003e Tsugaru-nuri has four typical techniques (Kara-nuri, Nanako-nuri, Nishiki-nuri, and Monsha-nuri), and \"Nanako-nuri\" is one of these techniques.\n\u003cbr\u003e The biggest feature of \"Nanako-nuri\" is to scatter rape blossom seeds to form a mesmerizing pattern.\n\u003cbr\u003e The words Nanako, Uoko, Nishiko, and Shinko are used to describe the patterns because the collection of small ring shapes produced by the rape blossoms is reminiscent of fish eggs or nanako as they are known in Japanese.\n\u003cbr\u003e Technically speaking, it is a traditional technique of polishing and coating called \"Kyu-shitsu\", and lacquer is applied 20 to 30 times before giving the work a polishing finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e This technique is not a method of drawing a pattern on top of the coat but is instead characterized by the depth of the pattern that emerges from the base coat, as well as the delicate yet intense pattern caused by the pattern of the base coat emerging through repeatedly applying lacquer and polishing the surface.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The process is a technique that requires a great deal of time and effort, with 17 base coats, 25 Nanako coats, and a topcoat (finishing coat).\n\u003cbr\u003e * For more information on each process, please refer to [ About the \"Nanako-nuri\" Process ].\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Its glossy surface and smooth texture

Prefecture for over 300 years.\n\u003cbr\u003e After applying lacquer several dozens of times, a polishing finish is applied to create a profound and artistic pattern.\n\u003cbr\u003e Tsugaru-nuri has four typical techniques (Kara-nuri, Nanako-nuri, Nishiki-nuri, and Monsha-nuri), and \"Nanako-nuri\" is one of these techniques.\n\u003cbr\u003e The biggest feature of \"Nanako-nuri\" is to scatter rape blossom seeds to form a mesmerizing pattern.\n\u003cbr\u003e The words Nanako, Uoko, Nishiko, and Shinko are used to describe the patterns because the collection of small ring shapes produced by the rape blossoms is reminiscent of fish eggs or nanako as they are known in Japanese.\n\u003cbr\u003e Technically speaking, it is a traditional technique of polishing and coating called \"Kyu-shitsu\", and lacquer is applied 20 to 30 times before giving the work a polishing finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e This technique is not a method of drawing a pattern on top of the coat but is instead characterized by the depth of the pattern that emerges from the base coat, as well as the delicate yet intense pattern caused by the pattern of the base coat emerging through repeatedly applying lacquer and polishing the surface.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The process is a technique that requires a great deal of time and effort, with 17 base coats, 25 Nanako coats, and a topcoat (finishing coat).\n\u003cbr\u003e * For more information on each process, please refer to [ About the \"Nanako-nuri\" Process ].\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Its glossy surface and smooth texture

Prefecture for over 300 years.\n\u003cbr\u003e After applying lacquer several dozens of times, a polishing finish is applied to create a profound and artistic pattern.\n\u003cbr\u003e Tsugaru-nuri has four typical techniques (Kara-nuri, Nanako-nuri, Nishiki-nuri, and Monsha-nuri), and \"Kara-nuri\" is one of these techniques.\n\u003cbr\u003e The name \"Kara-nuri\" seems to derive from the fact that imported goods from China were originally called \"Kara-mono\".\n\u003cbr\u003e \"Kara\" also means \"excellent\" or \"rare\".\n\u003cbr\u003e The main feature of \"kara-nuri\" is the basic technique of variegated polished varnished lacquerware, which has a profound atmosphere with beautiful fault lines of colored lacquer.\n\u003cbr\u003e In \"kara-nuri\", a special tool called a \"trick spatula\" is used to create unique patterns.\n\u003cbr\u003e The finished product is infinite, depending on the combination of colors and the pattern of the device.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Technically speaking, it is a traditional technique of polishing and coating called \"Kyu-shitsu\", and lacquer is applied 20 to 30 times before giving the work a polishing finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e This technique is not a method of drawing a pattern on top of the coat but is instead characterized by the depth of the pattern that emerges from the base coat, as well as the delicate yet intense pattern caused by the pattern of the base coat emerging through repeatedly applying lacquer and polishing the surface.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The process is a technique that requires a great deal of time and effort, with 17 base coats, 25 Kara-nuri coats, and a topcoat (finishing coat).\n\u003cbr\u003e * For more information on each process, please refer to [ About the \"Kara-nuri\" Process ].\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Its glossy surface and smooth texture never cease to enchant those who gaze their eyes on its beauty.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで

Hon-in-bo shape Go Bowls with Oil Burl for ~Size 38 Go Stones.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese Go bowls can hold Go stones up to size 38.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\nThese Go bowls are crafted from \"Abura-kobu \/ Oil Burl\" Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar) wood, estimated to be approximately 2,000 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Kobu \/ Burl\" forms when a tree sustains damage or undergoes abnormal growth, causing resin to accumulate and create a raised, knot-like structure.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong these, \"Abura-kobu \/ Oil Burl\" refers to sections that contain particularly high amounts of resin and natural oils.\u003cbr\u003e\nYakusugi Oil Burl is highly prized for its exceptional beauty and is often used in the finest woodworking pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe shape is the \"Hon-in-bo style\", which is modeled after the nodes of bamboo.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsually, the joint between the lid and the bowl is finished with a uniform shape, allowing the lid to rotate.\u003cbr\u003e\nHowever, these Go bowls are crafted with gently undulating curves at the overlapping section of the lid and the bowl, ensuring that it closes at a fixed position.\u003cbr\u003e\nGo bowls with this kind of design are extremely rare in the market, making this a truly unique piece.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a masterpiece that showcases the exceptional

is called the \"Yasui shape\", but in fact, the \"Hon-in-bo shape\" has a longer history.\u003cbr\u003e\nBefore the \"Yasui shape\" emerged, the \"Hon-in-bo shape\" was the mainstream design.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs you can see in the images, the shape of the \"Hon-in-bo shape\" bowl resembles bamboo.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the \"Honinbo style\" originated from the practice of cutting bamboo nodes to use them as containers for Go stones in ancient times.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the common \"Yasui shape\" has a beautiful form, the distinctive and traditional \"Hon-in-bo shape\" remains a popular choice among Go enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nYakusugi, a type of Japanese cedar from Yakushima Island, is an exceptionally rare and highly valuable wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Yakushima was designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, the logging of Yakusugi has been strictly prohibited, making it extremely difficult to obtain new material.\u003cbr\u003e\nIts intricate and delicate grain possesses an elegant beauty that never ceases to captivate, attracting dedicated Yakusugi collectors from around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nYakusugi is widely known as a premium material for tables and fine furnishings.\u003cbr\u003e\nDue to its natural beauty and rarity, it is also highly valued as a material for Go

vase is crafted from \"aburakobu\" (oily burl) of Yakusugi wood, estimated to be around 2,000 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\nA burl is a swelling that forms on a tree when it is injured or grows abnormally, as resin accumulates and pushes outward.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong these, aburakobu refers specifically to burls rich in natural resin and oils, making them especially prized for their luster and depth.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn particular, Yakusugi oily burl is highly valued for its exceptional beauty and is often used in high-end woodworking.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis burl wood also features a rare and striking grain known as “toramoku” (tiger stripe figure)—a shimmering, striped pattern that changes appearance depending on the viewing angle.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe intricate shimmer of the tiger grain along the sides is especially stunning.\u003cbr\u003e\nTruly, this decorative vase is worthy of being called a masterpiece of beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*This is the only piece

Ichi-nyo (物心一如)', that literally means 'matter and mind are one\/body and mind as one'.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis implies a strong will that when we make boards, our board and mind are as one.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe engraved words 'Ichi-jo (一如)' is the evidence of Go master, who made this board with his spirit and board as one.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe are happy to offer these special boards made by the Go board master Mr. YOSHIDA Torayoshi, for his devotion and his long years of experience and outstanding technique.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで

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, wood quality, and rarity, but this material is often sold at a relatively affordable price for a high-quality board.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e          \n*Go board materials are explained detail

part of Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar) estimated to be approximately 3,000 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\nA burl (kobu) is a naturally formed swelling on a tree, developed when the tree undergoes stress, injury, or unusual growth, causing resin to accumulate.\nThe term abura-kobu refers to burls rich in resin and oils.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong Yakusugi materials, burl wood is especially prized for its striking appearance and is often used in high-end woodworking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular burl also features \"moku\" (figuring)—a shimmering grain pattern that appears to shift and glisten depending on the viewing angle.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe combination of shimmering stripes and intricate grain makes this a truly exceptional and rare Go bowl set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe shape of each bowl is a natural design, crafted to preserve the original form and texture of the material.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat would normally be considered imperfections—such as indentations, hollows, holes, or dark coloration—become striking aesthetic elements that highlight the raw and powerful beauty of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a one-of-a-kind work of art—solemn, awe-inspiring, and almost otherworldly—worthy of being called a “masterpiece of beauty.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Yakusugi trees are now protected as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage, logging has been prohibited, and acquiring new Yakusugi timber is extremely difficult.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a result, Yakusugi is considered one of the most valuable and rare woods in Japan. Its rich, complex grain and dignified appearance have captivated collectors around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Yakusugi is widely used for fine furniture and décor, its unique beauty and rarity also make it highly sought-after for Go bowls.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a one-of-a-kind item.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease refer to the photos for details.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n

overwhelming natural beauty, giving rise to the truly one-of-a-kind Go Bowls.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bowls are exceptionally heavy, weighing approximately 1.3 kg and 1.2 kg, which is about 1.0 kg heavier than typical Yakusugi Go bowls, adding to their remarkable presence and gravitas.\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth the lids and bowls have been crafted with slightly thicker walls to emphasize and preserve the natural qualities of the Yakusugi wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n*The bottom of each bowl is branded with the mark of the craftsman: “川下幸徳 (Yukinori Kawashita).”\nPlease refer to the photos for more

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,

part of Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar) estimated to be approximately 3,000 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\nA burl (kobu) is a naturally formed swelling on a tree, developed when the tree undergoes stress, injury, or unusual growth, causing resin to accumulate.\nThe term abura-kobu refers to burls rich in resin and oils.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong Yakusugi materials, burl wood is especially prized for its striking appearance and is often used in high-end woodworking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular burl also features \"moku\" (figuring)—a shimmering grain pattern that appears to shift and glisten depending on the viewing angle.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe combination of shimmering stripes and intricate grain makes this a truly exceptional and rare Go bowl set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe shape of each bowl is a natural design, crafted to preserve the original form and texture of the material.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat would normally be considered imperfections—such as indentations, hollows, holes, or dark coloration—become striking aesthetic elements that highlight the raw and powerful beauty of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a one-of-a-kind work of art—solemn, awe-inspiring, and almost otherworldly—worthy of being called a “masterpiece of beauty.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Yakusugi trees are now protected as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage, logging has been prohibited, and acquiring new Yakusugi timber is extremely difficult.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a result, Yakusugi is considered one of the most valuable and rare woods in Japan. Its rich, complex grain and dignified appearance have captivated collectors around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Yakusugi is widely used for fine furniture and décor, its unique beauty and rarity

one-of-a-kind Go Bowls.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bowls are exceptionally heavy, weighing approximately 1.2 kg and 1.2 kg, which is about 1.0 kg heavier than typical Yakusugi Go bowls, adding to their remarkable presence and gravitas.\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth the lids and bowls have been crafted with slightly thicker walls to emphasize and preserve the natural qualities of the Yakusugi

injury, or unusual growth, causing resin to accumulate.\nThe term abura-kobu refers to burls rich in resin and oils.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong Yakusugi materials, burl wood is especially prized for its striking appearance and is often used in high-end woodworking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis particular burl also features \"moku\" (figuring)—a shimmering grain pattern that appears to shift and glisten depending on the viewing angle.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe combination of shimmering stripes and intricate grain makes this a truly exceptional and rare Go bowl set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe shape of each bowl is a natural design, crafted to preserve the original form and texture of the material.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat would normally be considered imperfections—such as indentations, hollows, holes, or dark coloration—become striking aesthetic elements that highlight the raw and powerful beauty of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a one-of-a-kind work of art—solemn, awe-inspiring, and almost otherworldly—worthy of being called a “masterpiece of beauty.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Yakusugi trees are now protected as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage, logging has been prohibited, and acquiring new Yakusugi timber is extremely difficult.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a result, Yakusugi is considered one of the most valuable and rare woods in Japan. Its rich, complex grain and dignified appearance have captivated collectors around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Yakusugi is widely used for fine furniture and décor, its unique beauty and rarity also make it highly sought-after for Go bowls.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a one-of-a-kind item.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease refer to the photos for

from the \u003cstrong\u003eoil burl\u003c\/strong\u003e of Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar), a richly resinous and exceptionally rare wood sourced from trees estimated to be around 3,000 years old.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat might normally be considered flaws—such as gouges, dents, holes, and dark coloration—have instead become elements of overwhelming natural beauty, giving rise to the truly one-of-a-kind Go Bowls.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bowls are exceptionally heavy, weighing approximately 1.4 kg and 1.3 kg, which is about 1.0 kg heavier than typical Yakusugi Go bowls, adding to their remarkable presence and gravitas.\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth the lids and bowls have been crafted with slightly thicker walls to emphasize and preserve the natural qualities of the Yakusugi wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n*The bottom of each bowl is branded with the mark of the craftsman: “川下幸徳 (Yukinori Kawashita).”\nPlease refer to the photos for more details.\u003cbr\u003e\n*These bowls can accommodate Go stones up to size 42.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #e25041;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs Yakusugi contains a high amount of natural oil and resin, please avoid storing Go stones inside the bowls for extended periods, as the resin may seep out over time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで
