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. 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 market.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe procurement of kaya is becoming more and more difficult and the Japanese honkaya Go board is getting rarer year on year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e          \n*Go board materials are explained detail in \"How to choose a board\".\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease take a look.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kurokigoishiten.com\/en\/pages\/about_go_board\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(44, 130, 201);\"\u003eGo to \"How to choose a board\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e            \n            \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\"\u003eAbout \"composition board\"\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\nWhen the material itself is too large in diameter to make a one-piece board, or when the board cannot be made from a single piece of wood for any reason, it is sometimes made by joining pieces of wood together.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e A board made in this way is called a \"tsugi-ban\" or \"hagi-ban\" (joined or composite board).\n\u003cbr\u003e There are several types of these boards and the ones with a fewer number of pieces, with less variation in color and grain, are regarded as more valuable.\n\u003cbr\u003e When using a composite board, we collect material wood that is as close as possible in wood color and grain in order to make the board as consistent as possible.\n\u003cbr\u003e Then, the joints are precisely calculated and bonded together so that the lines are placed right over the joints as much as possible.

\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. 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 market.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe procurement of kaya is becoming more and more difficult and the Japanese honkaya Go board is getting rarer year on year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e          \n*Go board materials are explained detail in \"How to choose a board\".\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease take a look.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kurokigoishiten.com\/en\/pages\/about_go_board\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(44, 130, 201);\"\u003eGo to \"How to choose a board\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e            \n            \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\"\u003eAbout \"composition board\"\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\nWhen the material itself is too large in diameter to make a one-piece board, or when the board cannot be made from a single piece of wood for any reason, it is sometimes made by joining pieces of wood together.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e A board made in this way is called a \"tsugi-ban\" or \"hagi-ban\" (joined or composite board).\n\u003cbr\u003e There are several types of these boards and the ones with a fewer number of pieces, with less variation in color and grain, are regarded as more valuable.\n\u003cbr\u003e When using a composite board, we collect material wood that is as close as possible in wood color and grain in order to make the board as consistent as possible.\n\u003cbr\u003e Then, the joints are precisely calculated and bonded together so that the lines are placed right over the joints as much as possible.

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. 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 market.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe procurement of kaya is becoming more and more difficult and the Japanese honkaya Go board is getting rarer year on year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e          \n*Go board

of the log and itame (flat grain) appears on the bottom surface of the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe top surface has a bigger oval bamboo shoot-like pattern or irregular pattern than kiura.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cutting style is implemented only when the log has some problems such as knots or gum pockets that should be avoided to ensure kiura, so the kiomote board often has problems on the bottom side.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Go board cutting styles are explained detail in \"How to choose a board\".\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease take a look.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca
