Authentic piece of Japanese board-game history with this vintage 1980s Go (Igo) stone set, sourced directly from a Japan government auction. This complete set includes 180 white stones and 180 black stones, traditionally used for full-size Go boards.
The white stones are made from glass resin, a material widely used in the 1980s—before premium hamaguri clamshell stones became standard. The black stones are made from Natchi shells, known for their smooth feel and deep natural coloration.
This set is ideal for Go players, collectors of Japanese traditional games, or anyone seeking a beautiful wabi-sabi game accessory with true Showa-era character.
Condition: Vintage from the 1980s, used but in good condition, stones show age-appropriate wear consistent with authentic Go equipment.
