Generally, Japanese-grown honkaya is said to be better than Chinese honkaya in terms of quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese kaya tends to be less valued than Japanese kaya due to its reddish wood color,

the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cutting style is only possible when the wood is cut out from a tree with a large diameter, so we can say that the word shihou-masa means the boards are made from trees
