This set includes refurbished bowls and refurbished slate & clamshell go stones.
The wood has a pleasant orange-red tone. There are nice lines, and some heathering creates a ripple effect. Cherry has great longevity as a fruitwood. The bowls are XL size and fit the stones neatly. They were treated with mineral oil and buffed with Monkey Butter.
There is a full set of stones, about 10.3mm thick. This is a luxurious thickness for slate and shell, and is the standard for most Title Matches in Japan.
The 180 white pieces are Mexican clamshell. There is a variety of grades, as you can see in the photos. They were soaked in oxygenated water for a week.
The 181 black stones are Japanese slate. They are slightly larger than the white stones - this is intentional to account for black's slimming effect. They were washed with soapy water and rinsed with distilled water, but have not been buffed with mineral oil as we leave this choice to you.
This is a Vintage item.
