and after drying and polishing the surface flat, finishing by using a brush to add more lacquer on top of the engraved lacquer parts to give slightly raised characters.\u003cbr\u003e\n*You can view

the grain orientation of Kujaku-moku (peacock grain), which usually spreads upward from the base to the top of the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Inazuma-moku, the pattern instead expands downward from the top toward the base (koma-jiri), resembling a bolt of lightning — hence its name.\u003cbr\u003e\nWood featuring moku (figured grain) is extremely rare and each piece has its own unique character.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmong these, Kujaku-moku and Inazuma-moku are considered exceptionally beautiful and of the highest quality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOnly a few Shogi pieces can be crafted from a single block of wood with such patterns, which means that creating a full matching set of Kujaku-moku or Inazuma-moku pieces requires multiple boxwood logs of similar tone and texture.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis makes these pieces exceptionally rare and highly prized.\u003cbr\u003e\n*Please check the images.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n    \n    \n\n    \n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで
