Discover the exquisite beauty of this 20.5cm thick Kaya wood floor board, meticulously crafted to bring the essence of traditional Japanese go board gaming to your home. This exceptional goban, sourced from a reputable dealer in Yokohama City, boasts a protective paulownia lid and stands at an impressive 29.5cm with legs. Its candy color, which intensifies with age, showcases the rich dark red resin in the grain, making it a standout piece in any setting.

Unmatched Craftsmanship and Quality

The Kaya wood floor board is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. It features a center cut (kiomote style) to highlight the heart of the tree, and its grain is wavy, a characteristic of slow-growing Kaya trees with hundreds of rings. The dense wood, retaining its resin for 10 years, adds to its weight and durability. Notable features include a warm candy color, a uniform heartwood tone, and a sweet vanilla and cloves scent. The plain-sawn board offers a beautiful end-grain for both players, while the unique cross-grain patterns are like a fingerprint, adding to its individuality.

Practical and Stylish for Gaming Enthusiasts

This floor board is not just a gaming tool but also a stylish addition to any room. Its protective paulownia lid ensures longevity, and the set, including the lid and legs, weighs a substantial 23kg, indicating its high-quality construction. Ideal for go enthusiasts and collectors, this vintage item, if new, would cost upwards of $5000-$7000 today. With free FedEx International Priority shipping included, it's the perfect gift for those who appreciate the fusion of art and functionality. Enhance your gaming experience with this unique and timeless piece.
