Hello,
I am completely new to Go but found this cool looking board in a thrift shop where I live. I picked it up for $15 and now I am trying to find out more about it.
I now know that it is called a goban and it is clearly Japanese as there are some faded characters written on the bottom. I've tried reading through the message boards and learn more about the woods and cuts but would love some help and a second opinion to my research. It would be incredible if someone could help with the characters and give some idea what it is worth so I can look after it properly.
Thanks so much!
