Historic Goban/Prices (signed by history famous go players)

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

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.

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.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

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.

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.
