This is a pair of extra large Kaya Low and Wide shape Go Bowls, crafted by Traditional Craftsman Biei, designed for Go stones up to size 36.

These beautiful bowls are created using lathe woodcraft techniques refined through over 50 years of experience.
Kaya is regarded as the finest material for Go boards, and these bowls highlight kaya’s characteristic soft wood tone and fine, delicate grain.
Their wood quality and color closely match those of Hon-Kaya and Hyuga Kaya boards, making them an excellent pairing.

This pair is made in the Low and Wide shape, designed especially for tabletop boards. Compared to standard Go bowls, they are lower in height and offer a stable profile.
To balance the reduced height, the diameter is made slightly larger.
The wide opening makes it easy to take stones in and out.
Visually refined and well-proportioned, the elegant design harmonizes beautifully with a Go board.

Combining practicality with dignity, these Kaya Go bowls in the Low and Wide shape offer both function and refined presence.
When used together with a Kaya Go board, they create an even greater sense of unity in your playing space.
A timeless and classic piece that can be cherished for many years.


There are traces of natural intergrown knots on both lids.
*Please refer to the photos for details.
*This Go Bowl is for Go stones up to size 36.
*A copy of the Traditional Craftsman certification is included.

Kaya size 36
Kaya wood is a fine timber known for its light yellowish tone, fine and smooth texture, and subtle sweet fragrance.
Its gently moist feel is pleasant to the touch, and with continued use it gradually deepens into a rich amber color, developing a natural luster over time.
The straight, well-aligned grain of quarter-sawn kaya conveys a quiet elegance, offering a refined beauty free from ostentation.
