AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A solid wooden Go-game table 碁盤 (goban) with a set of go-stones 碁石 (go-ishi). The broad top is made of solid wood. Raised by four faceted baluster feet.
Complete with go-stones 碁石 (go-ishi) in lidded containers made of kuwa (mulberry wood). The white stones are carved from hamaguri 蛤 (clam shell), while the black stones are made from Nachiguroishi 那智黒石, a fine slate from Kumano in Mie Prefecture.
The table is in a good condition with minimal traces of use, including scratches along the feet, and some restoration along the sides and bottom. The go-stones have traces of usage, which is quite common. Stone boxes with traces of use. Please look at the photos for a condition reference.
Dimensions:
Go-table
Height 27 cm, Width 45.2 cm, Depth 41.8 cm, top thickness 14.6 cm.
Two boxes of the go-stones:
Height 9.5 cm.
Black and white stones:
Height B & W 0.7 cm, Diameter B 2.2 cm, W 2.1 cm.
Go, also known as "Igo" or "Baduk," is a strategic board game originating from ancient China but widely popularized in Japan. Played on a grid board, the objective is to surround and capture the opponent's stones by strategic placement and movement. Go is renowned for its simple rules but complex gameplay, involving deep strategic thinking, spatial awareness, and intuition. With a profound cultural significance, it has been embraced as an art form and a means of personal growth.
