【SET219】Hyuga Suwabute Clamshell Go Stones Set (Moon Grade, Size 20, Kokutan (Ebony) Go Bowls)
This product set includes Hyuga Suwabute Go stones in Moon grade of Size 20 and Kokutan (Ebony) 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."
