Contemporary Master Go board Craftsman Mr.Kumasu made Yakusugi(Yakushima Cedar) table Go board 1.8-sun(thickness: approx. 57 mm) No.76985F

This Go board is a 1.8-sun(thickness: approx. 57 mm) 1-piece Table Go Board made of Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar), made by Contemporary Master Go board Craftsman Mr.Kumasu.

This Go board is made from Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar) estimated to be approximately 1,500 years old.
On the bottom surface, there is a handwritten inscription and seal that reads 'Yakusugi - Crafted by Contemporary Master Craftsman Mr.Kumasu, certifying his craftsmanship.
The lines are beautifully finished using the 'Tachimori' technique with high-quality domestically produced natural lacquer.
A paulownia wood presentation box is included, featuring a handwritten inscription and seal on the inside of the lid that states crafted by Contemporary Master Craftsman Mr.Kumasu.
This board is a rare piece, as Yakusugi is an uncommon material for Go boards, and it has been specially crafted by Contemporary Master Craftsman Mr.Kenichi Kumasu.
This time, we are offering two Go boards for sale : one with a thickness of 1.8-sun(thickness: approx. 57 mm) and another with 2.8-sun(thickness: approx. 85 mm).
Typically, 'Masame' cutting style(straight-grain) wood is preferred for Go boards.
However, in the case of Yakusugi, its rich variations in grain patterns and colors are highly valued, so it is sometimes deliberately crafted as 'Itame' cutting style (flat-grain) board to highlight its natural beauty.

This is the only piece available.
