Hyuga-Grown Kaya(Torreya) Shogi board style.20 (“Hagi” Jointed) PN/255163

Crafted from rare kaya wood grown in Hyuga, Japan, this 2 sun tabletop shogi board showcases one of the most highly regarded materials in the world of traditional shogi.

Japanese kaya has long been prized for its beautiful golden color, subtle natural fragrance, and exceptional playing feel. Over time, the wood develops a rich amber patina, enhancing its beauty and character with age.

This board features joined construction (hagi-ban), in which carefully selected pieces of kaya are skillfully joined together. This traditional method helps minimize warping while making the unique qualities of genuine Hyuga-grown kaya more accessible. The joins are expertly crafted to create a beautiful and harmonious playing surface.

With a thickness of 2 sun (approximately 6 cm), the board offers a satisfying playing experience while remaining practical for everyday use.
