This is Masame Go board with legs (6.8-sun/20.6 cm thick) made by famous craftsman Mr. Torayoshi YOSHIDA.

You can see his Kigo calligraphy at the bottom of the board. The sentence of Chinese writing means that "I was asked to make this Go board with this wood provided" and he actually made this board.
Ichi-jo-saku (一如 作)means "made with Ichi-jo spirit" is the proof of his work.

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.
The works of Mr. Torayoshi YOSHIDA feature very thin markings lines, that create elegance and beauty.
All four legs are hand-carved according to the color tone of the board and grain patterns to maximize the expression and impression of wood, and to best match with the board.

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.

This board with a thickness of 6.8-sun (20.4cm) looks very dynamic and fascinates people with its beauty and sophisticated atmosphere.
The board is very elegant and beautiful with very straight grain patterns in perfect condition, produces perfect snapping sound when placing stones.
