About "Hon-kaya"
"Hon-kaya" wood material is known as the highest grade of Go board.
Its characteristics are as follows

Striking sounds
The beautiful and deep “striking sound" when the Go stones are struck on board is one of the reasons why the "Hon-kaya" material has been loved for so long.
The striking sounds and feels are very elegant and makes the experience of playing Go exceptional.
The beautiful wood grains
"Hon-kaya"wood is very fine and has a bright yellowish color.
As the color deepens over time, the style and luxury of the product will increase.
Durability
The "Hon-kaya"wood is strong and will become more durable over time.
With good maintenance, they can continue to be used for decades.
Rarity
Kaya trees grow very slowly and take many years to produce good quality material.
As a result, they are extremely rare and expensive.

About "Shin-kaya"
"Shin-kaya" is mainly spruce wood from Canada and China, and is called “Shin-kaya” because it is used as a replacement for "Hon-kaya" woods.

Striking sounds
The striking sound is lighter and slightly higher pitched than "Hon-kaya".
It has a beautiful resonance, but with a slight difference.
The "Hon-kaya" has a deep and resonant striking sound, whereas the "Shin-kaya" has a lighter striking sound and light strike feel.
Wood grains
The "Shin-kaya / Spruce wood" has a relatively light color and beautiful grain, but is not as fine-grained as the "Hon-kaya".
Unlike "Hon-kaya" wood, the wood deteriorates significantly over time, such as color change, and has a short service life.
Durability
"Shin-kaya" woods is also durable and easy to handle, but it tends to deteriorate and scratch more easily than "Hon-kaya" woods.
Price
Because of its fast growth and large supply, it is very reasonably priced compared to "Hon-kaya" boards.
