This vintage Japanese Go board is a beautiful example of traditional craftsmanship, made from premium kaya wood known for its durability and fine grain. The board measures 11 inches high, offering a substantial, high-quality playing surface. The game of Go, an ancient strategic board game originating from China, involves two players taking turns placing black and white stones on a grid, with the goal of capturing territory on the board.
This set includes stones made from slate (black) and clam shells (white), enhancing the authenticity and tactile pleasure of the game. The Go board comes with a kiri wood cover for protection, both reflecting the meticulous attention to detail in Japanese craftsmanship. This set is not just for playing; it’s a collector’s item that embodies the elegance and history of this revered game.
