Go Bowls：Wood craftsman "Kai-shi (懐志)" made "Keyaki / Zelkova" Go bowls
This is made from Keyaki [zelkova] wood, that is famous for its beautiful grain patterns and gloss color.
The wood color ranges from light yellow-brown to reddish-brown, offering an excellent balance of beautiful grain, strength, and durability.

Go Board：Board craftsman Mr. Miwa made Shin-kaya (Spruce wood) Tachi-mori finish table Go board Size 20
This table Go board is a substantial board with a thickness of approximately 60mm and a weight of about 5.2kg.
It features the “Keihou” stamp, a mark of craftsmanship by board craftsman Kyoji Miwa.
The lines are crafted using premium domestic natural lacquer.
They are drawn with the tachi-mori technique, using a Japanese sword, resulting in an outstanding finish.
The straight and fine Tenchi-masa wood grain gives the board a remarkably beautiful appearance.
This Go board is made of spruce, which has a close grain pattern and is similar to "Hon Kaya" board, but is less expensive.
Shin-Kaya (spruce) wood is not the same as "Hon Kaya" or "Hyuga Kaya", but it is cheaper and is recommended for daily use, beginner to intermediate level, or as a gift.
The board is not as close to close grain patterns as the Hon-Kaya or Hyuga-Kaya boards.
The board is relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
*The board is made of spruce wood, which is different from "Kaya" wood.

  White Go stones are made from Mexican clam shells.
  ＊Our black Go stones are 0.3 mm large thicker and 0.3 mm large diameter than the same size of white Go stones.
  The reason is that white is an expanded color, so when you see white Go stones and black Go stones of the same diameter and thickness with the human eye, the black Go stones look a little smaller.
  So we adjusted them so that they look the same size.
