Re: Another Kuroki website?

I wonder whether opening a store for luxury go equipment might be a risky proposition.


As far as I have been able to understand, this firm is a sort of secondary branch from Kuroki Goishi Ten, that deals in 2nd hand refurbished Japanese material.

Due to the present scarcity of raw material, you ...

Re: Young players still a mystery?

It's the same in go. People bleat about not finding opponents for a face-to-face game. When I started in go I had to travel 300 miles (and back) to get such a game. No sgf files then, of course; and no proper go sets - I used tiddlywinks. From my perspective, we are now awash with go players in the ...

I plan to clean the stones with hydrogen peroxyde ...

Hope it helps.

Re: Help identifying japanese material

About the stones, I fell in love with the light stripes.
The seller claimed that these are snow suwabute.
It is not really something that bothers me: I bought these to enjoy and because I love japanese made material.
Still I am curious: anyone can say if it is possibly a suwabute set?

Help identifying japanese material

Hi everyone,
it's my turn to ask support to identify this new material I acquired as a late birthday self gift.
The stones are 8 mm snow quality, they came with their goke, but I don't know which wood they are made of.

What a nice find!
I miss that in the West you can find near to nothing suitable for children and these basic techniques are very useful to learn reading.

Understanding which stones to buy

¡Hola a todos!
I can remember when I started and I was looking to buy my very first set and I had problem to find also the basic information that were not only plainly advertising this or that.

Here I found a new interesting idea: a not so costy set - less than 9 € - made of twelve pairs of all the ...
