This deluxe go set came to BadukClub from a refurbisher in Kanagawa, Japan.
The board is 17.5cm thick. It has an even yellow color typical of Shinkaya (Alaskan Spruce). and it is a rift-sawn board, a Shihou-masa cut. This cutting style is the highest rated, as it has the maximum dimensional stability and will not warp over time. This board has immense character, a bit denser than usual at 16kg with thin, even lines, and a warm overall color. There are very few stray marks.
The go bowls are Cherry or Keyaki. They are size XL in very good condition with their original finish.
The go stones are a full set of slate & shell, with 181 black and 180 white plus 2 spares of each color. They are standard grade size 34 stones (about 9.5mm thick) that come with their original box.
Because this set is still in Japan, it has not been refurbished in our Colorado workshop, so we can offer it at a discount. There may be small imperfections not specified here.
