Kaya Floor Boards 6 to 9 inchs
This is a real Kaya Go board made from the finest cut of Japanese Kaya wood from southern Japan. The size of this board measures: 46.1cm x 43.1cm x 18.9cm (7.44 inches thick). As for the lines, they are hand drawn with the use of a Samurai sword blade, so they will not have a cheap stenciled look to them. The ink used is a Japanese lacquer that is also used on the very expensive Urushi bowls/plates. As for the finish, the board is polished with Japanese Sumac wax to give it a beautiful finish. This truly is the ultimate Go board. The beauty of this wood and the solid sound of stones being placed on the board will bring a whole new enjoyment to the game. This is only an example of one of the available floor boards, please contact us if interested in other sizes and pictures of other available floor boards.
Kaya - also Hyuga Kaya and Hon Kaya (Torreya nucifera):
This is a slow-growing coniferous tree primarily found in southern Japan. This wood is considered to be the best, and is the most expensive option for Go boards. The trees used are often up to 700 years old. The wood contains much oil and has a beautiful smell. The grain is very distinct as it is grown in places where there is great variation between day and night temperature. It has very dense grain due to it growing slowly in rock places. Click Here,
