This Goban set came to Baduk Club from an pawn shop in Shimane, Japan.
The go board has wavy endgrain that is unmistakably Kaya, the deep orange and dense lines of wood from Kyushu. The cut is Kiomote, a plain-sawn style that shows off the growth rings of the tree on the ends, with straight lines on the edges. The board has a raised lacquer grid made with Tachimori. It stands 23cm tall with legs and comes with a Paulownia lid. Apart from one small crack it is in excellent condition for a used board.
The bowls are Keyaki with their original finish. They carry the signature of the maker on the underside, a great sign of quality.
The stones are a full set of slate and shell, size 35 (about 10mm). There are 181 black and 180 white pieces.
