Disclosure: I am not affiliated with Kuroki in any way. I am a satisfied customer who believes supporting the traditional Japanese craftsmen who work for Kuroki is a responsible and rewarding investment in old school go. I do not believe you could ever regret owning any of Kuroki's superbly made equipment.

Time to finally get a hon-kaya floor goban? (in my dreams only)

These are truly wonderful sets. They radiate a sense of craftsmanship that is hard to find nowadays. The simple shapes and natural materials - slate, shell and wood - almost cry out to be played with. I bought a Kuroki set from the job money I earned with my first holiday job, many years ago and I'm still very fond and proud of it.
