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\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 \"Ten-masa\" 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\"Ten-masa\" cutting style has masame (straight grain) only on the top surface of the board.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bottom surface has itame (flat grain).\u003cbr\u003e\nThe general masame boards belong to this type.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe top surface is beautifully finished so the ten-masa board is highly valued.\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 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\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\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    \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapan grown Hon Kaya made Ten-masa Go board with legs (6.2-Sun\/189 mm thick)\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct No : No.71143F\u003cbr\u003e\nSize (height × width × thick ×leg)：\u003cbr\u003e\n462 mm × 431 mm × 189 mm × 130 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight：About 23.5 kg\u003cbr\u003e\n*Comes with a Paulownia Cover for Go Board with legs and Cotton cover for Go board with legs\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded：Certificate, Paulownia cover and Cotton cover\u003c\/li\u003e\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    \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n    \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\u003eNotice about Product\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    \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容 --\u003e\n    \nYou may find small knots, burrs, rolled-in bark as all these products are made of natural trees.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere may be some small flaw or scratch, dent, chipping.\u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで --\u003e\n    \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"kurokigoishiten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46615086956707,"sku":null,"price":900000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1093\/6995\/files\/71143-00.jpg?v=1764909805","url":"https:\/\/kurokigoishiten.com\/en\/products\/japan-grown-kaya-legged-go-board-ten-masa-6-2-sun-no-71143f","provider":"kurokigoishiten","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
