To those who have purchased from KGT...

Looks really nice. Now you just need to remodel your whole room to match it

yes the first set of bowls for 500000 (in the second link) looks very much like your bowls but the price...its bigger than the price of a goban im planning to buy)

[Mindraken]

How much did this set come to including shipping and handling etc? I've been playing about 6 years and have always wanted the highest of quality, but my budget doesn't often reach over a few hundred dollars. Given most sets like this reach several thousand, I just wanted to know the riches I will have to accumulate to afford this. No price isn't worth it however, for quality Go equipment is truely an artform.

sun is a traditional unit of measurement. When someone says 6 sun kaya board they mean a kaya board with a thickness of 6 sun or whatever.

1 sun is approximately 3.03 cm or 1.19 inches.

Curious what email address or method of contact people used to get in touch with Mr Kuroki (or his business in general).

I think I used info@kurokigoishi.co.jp before which someone had posted ... no response in about 3 weeks. I tried customer@kurokigoishi.co.jp today ... will see if a response comes up.

I think both work, but I had the same experience when it came to response time recently. Eventually got in touch and get my order in, but it took some patience.

Nice - thanks - yes I got a reply and since then have been exchanging notes to narrow down the purchase.
