2.1-sun Shogi Table Board – Kyushu Kaya, Single-piece, Straight-grain cut

Thickness and Intended Use

A thickness of 2.1-sun is considered a standard specification for a shogi table board.
It can be set up and moved without excessive weight, making it suitable for everyday use.

This thickness offers a balance between stability and ease of handling.
It supports regular play without requiring a permanent floor setting.

Straight-grain Cut (Masame)

Straight-grain (masame) refers to a cutting method in which the annual rings run in parallel lines across the surface.
This structure helps reduce the likelihood of warping and creates a visually uniform grain pattern.

The quiet appearance of the grain may also be part of the decision-making process for some players.

Natural Variation in Color

The surface shows clear tones of red and yellow.
These differences arise naturally from variations within the interior of the kaya wood.

Over time, the color gradually becomes more unified.
The overall impression settles into a calmer tone as the board ages.

Consideration

This specification differs in character from thicker boards designed for a more substantial presence.
It may suit those who prioritize practicality in a table setting.
