This board came to Baduk club from an antique shop in Yamagata, Japan. It has not been shipped to our Colorado workshop for refurbishing, so exact details are not known. Calligraphy on the lid indicates that it was originally purchased in March, 1982.
The board is 6cm thick and a lovely orange color typical of Kaya. It is a 4-piece hagi board (Tsugi-ban), where the wood has been joined together. This type of construction is quite common for a table board, to avoid the potential for warping that comes from making a thin board of a single piece.
The underside features an anti-scratch layer of red felt. The paulownia lid is included.
This is a vintage item. Please examine the photos to understand the incidental marks, a red circle indicates the spot where the board has a slight lip.
