This awesome go set came to Baduk Club from a board game dealer in Kanagawa, Japan.
The board is 17.5cm thick, and stands 30cm tall on legs. It has an even yellow color typical of Shinkaya (Alaskan Spruce). It is a quarter-sawn board, a Shihou-masa cut. This cutting style is the highest rated, as it creates straight lines on all 6 of the board's surfaces. Such a cut is only possible with a tree of immense diameter. The board is in great condition, with nice edges and corners. There are some incidental marks. It weighs 14kg.
The bowls are XL size and probably Keyaki (Zelkova), but could be something similar.
The stones are a full set of slate and shell, and 2 spare stones are included of each color. They are size 35, about 10mm.
