Go Equipment - traditional go setsThe ancient Chinese game of 'wei qi', known as 'baduk' in Korea, is more commonly called by its Japanese name 'go' in England. It is thought to be the world's oldest and most popular board game. Stuart Dowsey's descriptions of the traditional playing equipment used in Japan were first published in the British Go Journal 1980-81 and are reproduced here with the kind permission of the British Go Association. (The costs mentioned have not been updated from the original articles, and are therefore no longer reliable.) "Wood, Shell and Stone" by Stuart Dowsey |
