Hyuga Kaya miniature table Go board for 15mm diameter Go stones Kiura 0.9-Sun 1-piece board No.76815

Hyuga Kaya table 19X19 Go board with 0.9-Sun Kiura made for 15mm diameter Go stones.
Please check the size comparison image.
The board is made of Tachimori-finished with Japanese lacquer.

This is a Kiura board, so the top surface appears Itame.
There are some natural stains throughout.
Please check the picture.

The Itame board has little or no straight grain (masame) on the top surface, but has big itame (flat grain) instead.
Many thin boards have this itame, which is prone to cracking and deformation.

Shin-kaya wood, also known as "new kaya", is a spruce wood grown mainly in North America, which is different from Japanese kaya.
Spruce wood is widely used because it grows straight, is odorless, has low oil content, is easy to process, and is in good supply, making it relatively inexpensive to produce Go/shogi boards.
Spruce board is sold at an affordable price but it has a similar grain and color to honkaya but is not as high quality as honkaya wood.
The quality of the spruce is comparable to that of honkaya or Hyuga kaya, but it is less prone to deformation and cracking.
Spruce wood is also used as SPF (spruce, pine, fir) material for furniture and building materials, but unlike kaya wood, it shows significant deterioration over time, such as changes in wood color, and has a shorter life span.
