This Go bowl is Wood craftsman Mr.Kawashita made Yakusugi Go Bowls Premium Burl Grain *Off-spec.

This Go bowl is an exceptionally rare and beautiful piece, featuring “moku” — a distinctive figured grain that shimmers elegantly when viewed from different angles.
The shape of this Go bowl preserves the natural form and texture of the original material, embodying what can be called a “design of nature.”
Elements that would normally be considered imperfections—such as gouges, dents, holes, or dark streaks in the wood—combine to create an overwhelming sculptural beauty, making this a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Majestic, awe-inspiring, and imbued with both divine grace and mysterious intensity, this Go bowl truly deserves to be called “a masterpiece of beauty.”

Since Yakusugi trees are now protected as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage, logging has been prohibited, and acquiring new Yakusugi timber is extremely difficult.
As 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.
While Yakusugi is widely used for fine furniture and décor, its unique beauty and rarity also make it highly sought-after for Go bowls.

This is a one-of-a-kind item.
