This awesome goban set came to Baduk Club from a thrift shop in Saitama, Japan. 

The board is 6cm thick and has a pleasant yellow color that is easy on the eyes. The seller thinks that it is Kaya, given the density (5kg) but it could be Hiba or Shinkaya. It is a hagi board, made of multiple pieces - this helps prevent warping which can occur when a board this thin is made from a single piece. The board may have been treated with a yellow coloring agent when it was made - this helps the different pieces appear more uniform and was the fashion in the 1980s. It sits on 4 rubber feet. There are some small scratches and regular wear and tear, but the board comes with a paulownia lid for protection while in storage.

The bowls are Shin-sakura (mahogany), size XL and they fit the stones with a comfortable amount of room to spare. 

The stones are nearly a full set (missing 4 white and 1 black). They were not measured but look size 32 or 34 (about 9mm). The black will be slightly wider than the wide to account for black's slimming effect. 

This is a Vintage item. Visit my Care Instructions to learn more.

Shipping Details: 

FedEx International Priority shipping from Japan (to nearly anywhere) is already included. This service reduces the actual transit time to only 5 business days, and also allows more room for padding in order to avoid shipping damage. Please allow a week for Customs preparations, then a FedEx tracking number will be provided that you can use to sign up for notifications.

Because of the quality of this set, Surface shipping is not recommended, but it is possible to reduce the cost by about $100. Contact us with the chat widget to make such arrangements.
