This is a pair of extra large Kaya Low and Wide shape Go Bowls, crafted by Traditional Craftsman Biei, designed for Go stones up to size 35.

These beautiful bowls are created using lathe woodcraft techniques refined through over 50 years of experience.
Kaya is regarded as the finest material for Go boards, and these bowls highlight kaya’s characteristic soft wood tone and fine, delicate grain.
Their wood quality and color closely match those of Hon-Kaya and Hyuga Kaya boards, making them an excellent pairing.

Visually refined and well-proportioned, the elegant design harmonizes beautifully with a Go board.

Combining practicality with dignity, these Kaya Go bowls in the Low and Wide shape offer both function and refined presence.
When used together with a Kaya Go board, they create an even greater sense of unity in your playing space.
A timeless and classic piece that can be cherished for many years.

Kaya wood is a fine timber known for its light yellowish tone, fine and smooth texture, and subtle sweet fragrance.
Its gently moist feel is pleasant to the touch, and with continued use it gradually deepens into a rich amber color, developing a natural luster over time.
The straight, well-aligned grain of quarter-sawn kaya conveys a quiet elegance, offering a refined beauty free from ostentation.
