Life In 19x19

Hello,

Ive been looking all the nice things at Kuroki's shop for last couple days and spotted there honinbo style bowls. Didnt know such things existed. I tried to find more pictures of bowls of that type, but the only couple pictures i found were from the same page and from their youtube channel (bowl making video).

does anyone know where i could find pictures of honinbo style bowls? has anyone used them and what they feel like? im really tempted to buy from kuroki's, but are they sold anywhere else so i could compare a little? Kuroki's has only light colored ones.

This guy sells a bunch you can check out by clicking on the images. Only in Japanese and doesn't ship abroad (sorry).

thanks for the links, look into them after work.

No one here admits owning or atleast having tried one?

Heh … if I’d find some pretty and price-worthy ones which I (living in Germany) could easily order, then I’d do so.

I actually prefer the regular style bowls. I just don't like these, personally.

Reminds me a little of the pair-go bowls, which are extremely cool and utilitarian.

See the following 19x19 thread for a nice pic of Keith's bowls: http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... 19&t=12387.

Nice link! There are some (I think) maple bowls that have me salivating: http://www.maekawa-kayagoban.co.jp/SHOP/gh00036.html.

Too bad they don't ship.
