Okay this is a bit of a stretch. But in this article on the NPR website there is a particularly familiar icon in image #8. Anyone recognize the setup? |

In 后宫甄嬛传 (Legend of Zhen Huan), Go shows up every few episodes as it is the game of choice that the Emperor likes to play with the Duke and his favorite concubine. I just wish they would show the board more clearly so I can see if it's a legit game  .

In this presentation video about Board Gaming's golden age, you can see an old picture of Go being played. It's a very brief slide, and not mentioned by name, but as a part of the concept of boardgaming being a part of human culture for a long time now. |

I didn't read the entire thread, so I hope this hasn't been posted yet. But If it hasn't, it should be. A Beautiful Mind had a go scene. Russel Crow gets upset when he loses, storms off and claims the game is flawed because he had the first move and still lost.

A friend of a friend posted this in Facebook: Attachment: doraemon Go.jpg [ 43.54 KiB | Viewed 16990 times ] She commented "意外なお趣味が(笑)" which I believe is "Doraemon surprises us (laugh)", but can't be sure(google translation). |

Maybe not mainstream but the famous Jon Shafer (computer game designer) wrote an article mentioning Go: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/JonShafe ... zation.php |

Kind of a lame sighting, but in the anime Mawaru Penguindrum there's a floor board in one of the character's rooms. |

A Go friend on FB recently posted a link to this image on what I think is the Vietnamese Go Association's facebook page:  I think it's pretty cool! Anyone know anything about it? |

I think a country's go association posting something go related is hardly mainstream  But a 7x21 board! is this Vietnam style? |

I had to go all the way through this to make sure not yet included among the sightings. Weird because certainly a major mainstream film (and of course book). "Hedgehog" (the book title "The Elegance of the Hedgehog") First Poloma (the almost 12 year old girl planning to commit suicide on her 12th birthday) gives a corrected description of where go originated and how it differs from chess. Later she plays a game with her (just moved in) Japanese neighbor. |
