producing area along with the Satsuma region of Kagoshima Prefecture, that produces Satsuma tsuge.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe hontsuge grown on Mikurajima Island is the best material for shogi pieces in terms

Tora-fu is not only the beauty of the stripes, but also the fact that the stripes are more shiny and look like tiger fur, which is another reason why Tora-fu is so popular.\u003cbr\u003e\nTora-fu is also a sign that the wood is of good quality, as the pattern appears when the wood contains nutrients.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalligraphy :
