This go set came to Baduk club from a private home in Tottori, Japan.
The board is Kaya, which is the premier wood for go boards due to its softness, color, and longevity. It has the typical candy color that Kaya develops with age, and a unique sweet scent. It is a 4cm thick Hagi board made of 3 pieces - this type of construction prevents warping which can happen when a board is made of a single piece.
The bowls are also Kaya, size XL, with their original finish. You can see in their grain a handsome amount of red resin.
The stones are slate and shell about 7mm thick. They were not measured or counted, but it should be nearly a full set.
This is a vintage item.
