Torreya nucifera (KAYA) 's wood is prized for the construction of Go boards because of its beautiful
yellow-gold color, fine and uniform ring texture, and the sonic quality of the click of a stone on its surface.
The tree is protected in Japan because of its scarcity due to past overcutting. Ancient kaya trees have
to die before they can be harvested to make thick Go boards, which makes them extremely expensive.
