About Us

While studying Computer Engineering at the University of Arkansas, he founded the first Go club in the area and began teaching the game to everybody he knew. Today he is the president of the Fayetteville Go Club. He enjoys programming in Objective-C, playing Go, traveling and spending time with his wife and two cats.
Our merchandise
To provide our customers with the best products, we cultivated a relationship with one of the oldest and most respected names in Japanese Go equipment. We feel proud and honored to be Keiji Miwa's exclusive reseller in North America.
A Miwa Go board is fundamentally different from those made with the methods of mass-production. The personal care and time put into each hand-made Goban comes through in the detail, finish and long-term durability of the end product. Traditional processes take more time, but the result is well worth waiting for.
Not to be outdone, our sets of top-quality Japanese Shell and Slate stones will make an enviable addition to any Go board. To hold your playing stones, we offer a stunning lineup of Nagiso-style Go Bowls.
Quality shopping experience
Nobody likes a guessing game when purchasing an important item like a Go board. That's why most Go boards we carry have their own unique description page with high-res photographs from several angles. You can take your time to browse just as if you were at a physical store. Your shopping experience is important to us.
Exclusive Furniture Discounts
Customers who purchase our traditional Go boards are eligible for generous discounts on Japanese Go furniture from Matsu of Berkeley, California.
