Reproducing the feature of Hidetchi's YouTube videos
The board is 2-sun genuine Kaya board, which is of higher value than the one Hidetchi uses: a 1-sun Hiba board.
Elegant 2-sun genuine Kaya board and piece stands
If you already own a half-sun or 1-sun board, please consider going up to the next level with this board set.
1-kanji Ono-ore wood inscribed piece set, very similar to Hidetchi's
The Ono-ore wood is one of the high value materials. Ono-ore literally means "ax breaker", which is named after the way how the wood is hard and dense. It is in good balance with the genuine 2-sun Kaya board.

Really good set
2014/05/26 Poster:Quentin VERCHERE Recommend rate:★★★★★
I just received this set, the shipping was quick ,about 3 weeks (France).
The board is very nice, flat, and has a nice color.
The pieces are also nice, and really hard.
It's my first purchase on this website, also my first "real" shogi set, and as a beginner, I highly recommend it! -
Ono-ore

Highly recommended of the Hon-Kaya board. However, the quality of the pieces cannot match the quality of the board! The pieces should be at least Hon-tsuge.

Premium Shogi Set
2012/05/13 Poster:Isaac Deal Recommend rate:★★★★★
I just received this set yesterday, and I am extremely impressed by the quality of the boards and pieces. The board is heavy and has a great color to it. It is also well made. The board is very flat. The pieces, with the one kanji style, which I don't really prefer is actually very nice. They are cut in with lacquer. Very high quality. But I must caution new owners: The descriptions are not wrong, these pieces are indeed as hard as they say. If you drop a piece and a point strikes the board, it may damage it. But that isn't enough to ruin the satisfaction I have for this purchase. It's the best alternative compared to the 40,000 dollar blocks.
