stones, moderate elasticity, beautiful grain, color, gloss and luster, and aroma. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Hyuga kaya\" is a special type of close-grained Japanese nutmeg tree grown and harvested in a mountainous area in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe reason why Hyuga kaya from Miyazaki Prefecture is of the highest quality is because of the natural environment in which the tree grows.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe climate in southern Kyushu and the Miyazaki area has relatively big temperature differences between daytime and night time, a lot of rainfall, and strong direct sunlight, all of which help trees to produce clear-grain grains.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe wood grows on rocky terrain and requires several hundred years to grow into a tree large enough to be used as Go board material.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is why it is considered a top-quality product, due to its rarity as well as its wood quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe grain of the wood is very fine and dense, so it rarely causes warpage or distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHyuga kaya boards are used in various title matches and famous tournaments.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sound of the placing of stones on the board is very clear. Moreover, as it is used over the years, it will take on a refined candy-colored luster, further enhancing its maturity.\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  \u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\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 What is \"Kiomote\" cutting style?\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\"Kiomote\" cutting style applies to the center (core) of the log and itame (flat grain) appears on the bottom surface of the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe top surface has a bigger oval bamboo shoot-like pattern or irregular pattern than kiura.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cutting style is implemented only when the log has some problems such as knots or gum pockets that should be avoided to ensure kiura, so the kiomote board often has problems on the bottom side.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Go board cutting styles 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\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 aria-expanded=\"false\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\" class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\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\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoard craftsman Mr. YOSHIDA made Hyuga Kaya Kiomote 3.2-Sun (thick about 98 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct No : No.89041F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize：366 mm × 335 mm × 98 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight：About 5.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded : Certificate\u003c\/li\u003e\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\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\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":46372241965219,"sku":null,"price":97000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/89041-00.jpg?v=1762231163","url":"https:\/\/kurokigoishiten.com\/en\/products\/hyuga-kaya-table-shogi-board-kiomote-3-2-sun-yoshida-no-89041f","provider":"kurokigoishiten","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
