This deluxe go set came to BadukClub from a reseller in Osaka, Japan.
The go bowls are size XL Karin (quince) with their original finish. With its high density and excellent longevity, this is a premier wood for go bowls. They come with matching lids and they fit the stones comfortably. The bowls themselves feature beautiful grain, as the wood was carefully selected.
The go stones are size 36 slate and shell (about 10.4mm thick). There is a full set of 181 black and 180 white. The white stones appear to be Standard grade. The black stones are slightly thicker than the white, which is intentional to account for black's slimming effect.
A paulownia storage box is included. Boxes like these are excellent for protecting the wood from dust, humidity changes, and so on. The wood of the Princess tree is lightweight but still resistant to heat, mold, and especially pests. This particular box has excellent grain lines and a decorative ribbon.
