I think there's a Finnish word to describe this: mustavadaverybadhairday, but as correct translation to English requires about 900 words, I'll skip it.

Not so famous and probably not so important, but possibly the pièce de résistance of my collection.
Not telling how much it costs though.

Wow, that is awesome, have you played a game on it?

Late to the party: I wouldn't be surprised if at least half of the people who've had wasabi didn't realize it was a form of horseradish, so it's a little different than goban/board.

I would like to know the terms in Korean and Chinese; unfortunately, I can't pronounce them. I feel bad that we seem to make Chinese and Koreans use Japanese terms here. So, I use English whenever I can.

I think these were mentioned earlier in this thread but: Chinese "qipan", Korean "baduk pan" but don't ask me what the "correct" Romanizations are.

No not yet, just took pictures and wrote about it on my blog.

I found some more info on the inscriptions on the goban so I updated my blog entry. The calligraphy is much much more meaningful now.

Bummer. All of your linked photos are blacked by my corporate firewall. They'll wait till I can view from home.
