I got some of those as a prize tournament many, many years ago. I don't know where they are anymore but they got a lot of use.

Must’ve been other ones (but probably similar) because these are apparently a new thing that a young Japanese woman created with help of some strong amateur player. On her FB page I saw a photo of very similar round coasters (w/o this wooden thing to stack them upon), perhaps she made those some time ago? Or this is where she got the idea from?

They look identical in form to the ones I had, but probably different problems.

Got mine in the mail today. Apparently passed customs without a problem. They're very nice and even my wife thinks they're cool.
