Japanese kaya is usually lighter and more yellowish in color and has a unique wood aroma.\n\u003cbr\u003e Depending 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e In 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e The procurement of kaya is becoming more and more difficult and the Japanese honkaya Go board is getting rarer year on year.\n\u003cbr\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\u003cdiv class=\"Collapsible Collapsible--large\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"Collapsible__Button Heading u-h6\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDetails\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\nThis is made from Japan grown Hon-Kaya, that is the highest quality material wood to make Shogi board.\n\u003cbr\u003e The value is increasing as the wood will be rarer in the near future.\n\u003cbr\u003e It is the high quality board, such as wood color, and grain patterns.
