I always wanted a top quality Go board since my youth. I came across Kurokigoishiten by chance. The communication was great to answer my inquiries. When I got the Kenichi Kumasu made board, it looks absolutely amazing! The quality is impeccable, and the old Yakusugi texture, smell, density makes me want to touch it over and over again. The lining is incredibly done with precision and I can feel the aliveness of the craftsmanship. The board looks much nicer than you would expect from the pictures. Can't wait to play Go on it.

Made by Kenichi Kumasu, a modern master craftsman, Yakusugi

Beautiful camphor Go bowls! The craftsmanship is amazing! Obviously done by someone honed in their craft. The finish is like glass; the smell is wonderful too. My size 28 slate and shell stones obviously fit excellent with room to spare. I had to search for the "scratch" indicated on the listing. Packaging was excellent and even wrapped in nice printed paper. Great customer service too! Walked me through how to best deal with current tariff nonsense to get cheapest shipping. Shipped quickly and now my nice Moon Grade stones have a beautiful home going forward! This listing allowed me to get a beautiful set of bowls at a price I could afford.

元々は実際に対局の際に使うつもりで購入したのですが（言うまでもなく、素人碁です）、もったいなくて今のところ飾るだけになっています。

品物自体は、図柄の良さのみならず骨も太く立派で、間違いなく素晴らしい扇子です。

Impeccable service. I am very satisfied.

一粒一粒繊細な工夫をして、職人の技というのを感じさせる。入門セットでも十分に楽しめる。

The finest and highest quality you can find.

Amazing quality, will cherish for years to come.

The feeling of the fit is great. And the scent of Cedar is always wonderful.

初めて高級な駒を購入しました。満足しています。将棋を楽しんでいます。

紹介写真通りの穏やかな色の美しい碁笥で満足しています。色の濃い欅の碁笥より蛤の碁石と色のバランスが私の好みに合いました。梱包も万全で商品が傷まないように配送する配慮が十分になされていて申し分ありません。

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

The purchasing process was a joy.

The website is intuitive and provides translation, which is greatly appreciated. Communication was efficient and shipping was swift.

I look forward to my next purchase.

The craftsmanship of this board is truly outstanding. Its beauty is evident in the color, the texture of the wood, and its clear, dignified resonance.

When I play on this board, it naturally brings out my best play.

I offer my deepest respect and sincere gratitude for this masterful work.

I accidentally found the Netflix film The Match, and through it I became interested in learning more about Go—a game I knew absolutely nothing about before discovering the movie. I started researching the game and learned that, in many ways, it is also a form of Zen practice. Using AI, I looked into which manufacturers are considered exceptionally high quality and found this set. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and its high quality. Now, a few weeks later, I’ve acquired a stack of books about playing Go and I’m considering buying a larger board from you. Purely by chance, it seems I’ve found a new hobby for myself—and also a new way to practice mindfulness, which was the main reason for my purchase.
