This product set includes Hyuga Suwabute Go stones in Snow grade of Size 33 and Shima-Kuwa (Premium Island Mulberry) Go bowls, offering a superb price value!
The Go stones are made from Suwabute clamshells, a unique species of clam in the whole world that can only be collected on Okuragahama Beach in Hyuga City of Miyazaki prefecture. It features an exceptionally refined striped pattern, high quality, and stain resistance.
However, Suwabute clamshells were depleted about 30 years ago. They can no longer be found alongshore in Hyuga, which is why they are also called "The Dreamlike Go Stones."

Shima-Kuwa is a rare type of wood produced in Mikura-Jima, an island in Japan. However, most trees have withered due to volcanic gases from the neighbored island, Miyake-Jima. It has become difficult to obtain and scarce.
This product has been stored for about 10 years after production, so its luster may be slightly inferior to other go bowls.
