honkaya\" which is grown in other areas of Japan, and \"Chinese-grown honkaya\" which is mainly grown in Yunnan Province, China. \u003cbr\u003e\nGenerally, Japanese-grown honkaya is said to be better than Chinese honkaya in terms of quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe main difference between Japanese and Chinese kaya is the wood quality, caused by the natural environment where the tree was grown. Japanese kaya is usually lighter and more yellowish in color and has a unique wood aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\nDepending on your preference, Japanese kaya is generally more highly valued than Chinese kaya, and the value and price of Japanese kaya tends to be higher due to the rarity of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn order to make a one-piece Go\/Shogi board or board with legs, it is necessary to get a large tree between 200 and 800 years old.However, since logging is now prohibited in many forests in Japan, large-diameter kaya wood is almost impossible to find on the market.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe procurement of kaya is becoming more and more difficult and the Japanese honkaya Go board is getting rarer year on year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e          \n*Go board materials are explained detail in \"How to choose a board\".\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease take a look.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kurokigoishiten.com\/en\/pages\/about_go_board\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(44, 130, 201);\"\u003eGo to \"How to choose a board\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e            \n            \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\nWhat is \"Kiura\" cutting style?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\n\n\"Kiura\" cutting style applies to the center (core) of the log and itame (flat grain) appears on the top surface of the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe top surface has masame (straight grain) at both ends and an oval or bamboo shoot-like pattern or irregular itame pattern in the center.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Kiura\" cutting style is the most valuable cutting style of the itame wood.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e\nSpecification\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e  \n    \n    \n\u003cli\u003eBoard craftsman Mr.Miura of Yachimata Gobanten made Japan grown Hon-Kaya Go board with legs Kiura 5.3-sun \/ 161 mm thick Haguruma-mori finish lines\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct No. : No.70002\u003cbr\u003e\nSize (height × width × thick ×leg) : \u003cbr\u003e\nAbout 462 mm × 433 mm × 161 mm × 125mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight : About 17.4 kg\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded : Certificate, Paulownia cover and Cotton cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003cli\u003e1,000 JPY flat rate shipping within Japan, free shipping for purchases totaling 20,000 JPY or more.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease bear the actual cost for shipping charges outside Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e\nNotice about Product\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みのタイトル --\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Collapsible__Plus\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible__Content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\n\nYou may find small knots, burrs, rolled-in bark as all these products are made of natural trees.\n\u003cbr\u003e There may be some small flaw or scratch, dent, chipping.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"kurokigoishiten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46198193717411,"sku":null,"price":785000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/70002-00_0fff2fb3-55c9-4e0e-a7d3-6e766a72d312.jpg?v=1756863935","url":"https:\/\/kurokigoishiten.com\/en\/products\/board-craftsman-mr-miura-of-yachimata-gobanten-made-japan-grown-hon-kaya-go-board-with-legs-no-70002","provider":"kurokigoishiten","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
