Traditional craftsmanship for you

　Our Shogi boards do not have any cracks or stains after they are made. However, there are some defects that cannot be seen unless the board is cut, such as cracks that already existed in the standing wood, cracks caused by lightning, etc., and stains that appear on the Shirata part during the drying process.

　There are many boards with excellent topsides and wood edges, although they are what we call flawed boards. We are offering these boards at a bargain price, so please take a good look at the photos and consider them.
