Board craftsman Mr. Torayoshi YOSHIDA made Japan grown (Kinki region) kaya Table Shogi Board No.89017

Yoshida Gobanten was established in 1916 and continuously made various Go and Shogi boards for more than 100years.
The owner takes over the name of 'Master Yoshida Torayoshi' for generations.
All the boards made by the 3rd and 4th generation of Yoshida Torayoshi, the present owner, have engraved words of Ichi-jo (一如) in Chinese character, as the evidence of his work.
The word 'Ichi-jo' is a part of famous four-character idiom 'Busshin Ichi-nyo (物心一如)', that literally means 'matter and mind are one/body and mind as one'.
This implies a strong will that when we make boards, our board and mind are as one.
The engraved words 'Ichi-jo (一如)' is the evidence of Go master, who made this board with his spirit and board as one.
We 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.

It is becoming more and more difficult to obtain Japan grown kaya wood.
When it comes to Tenchi-masa 1-piece board that requires a large diameter material, it is a rare board because it is extremely difficult to make a new board.

There are color unevenness and color stains derived from wood as a whole.
Top and sides has some intergrown knots.
