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

top to the bottom or from the sky (ten) to the earth (chi).\u003cbr\u003e\nAs there is no visible itame (flat grain), you can see the beautiful masame (straight grain) from the top to the bottom of the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the top and bottom surfaces have masame (straight grain) but the side has itame (flat grain), the board is classified as tenchi-masa.\u003cbr\u003e\nJust like the shihou-masa board, the tenchi-masa board is made from a large-diameter, well-aged tree.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kaya (Japanese Torreya) tenchi-masa board is synonymous with the finest Go boards made of valuable wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso, most of the boards called tsugi-ban or hagi-ban (composition boards made from several pieces of wood joined together) have tenchi-masa or masame (straight grain).\u003cbr\u003e\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
