This Go Board is China grown Hon Kaya made Masame Go board with legs (5.0-sun/20.6 cm thick).

The lines of a board are marked using Tachi-mori, the skill of drawing lines using a Japanese sword.
This traditional technique highlights the beauty of natural grain patterns and the texture of lacquered line is smooth and has also a nice feeling.
This board's Kidori (Cutting Style of Wood) is "Masame".
Masame is made of high grade cutting style and beautiful wood grain.

This Go board has a somewhat noticeable natural stain on one end-grain side; however, the top surface features a finely grained and consistent pattern. With a thickness of 5.0 sun (approx. 152 mm) and a weight of about 18.5 kg, this board offers a solid sense of weight, presence, and dignity as a Go board with legs.
Highly recommended for those seeking a Go board with a profound sense of weight and luxury, for intermediate to advanced players, or as an excellent choice for a prestigious gift.
While there are some minor color variations, the board features a finely grained and beautifully uniform top surface.

*Please note that this board is extremely heavy, and the total package weight may exceed shipping limits.

This Go board with legs, with a thickness of 5.0 sun (approx. 152 mm) and a weight of about 18.5 kg, possesses an imposing thickness and a stately, commanding presence.
This Go board is made with straight-grain wood, allowing the grain to run consistently across the top surface.
Not only the top, but also the end grain and side surfaces display exceptionally beautiful patterns, making it a truly elegant board.

There is a somewhat noticeable material-derived stain on one end grain, and multiple scratches on the heso (the square cavity on the underside).
There are also dents from impact on one end grain and on the bottom-side edge of the board.
*Please check the photo images.

Kaya 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.
There 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.
Chinese 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.
