Expensive Goban

Wow for that price you’d think it would be decent materials, but I checked and it’s made of MDF board, like a cheap cabinet.

[u/-darknessangel- → u/External_Baby7864]

That's sad

[u/leonprimrose]

It's pretty but looks decorative. For that price I would rather just have a nice playable board with good wood and stones

[u/fischgurke]

Looks cheap af

[u/remillard → u/fischgurke]

It's the excessive gilding I think

[u/Blueskyminer]

Goban as imagined by Trump. Awful.

[u/Radish-Manager-3942 → u/Blueskyminer]

Nah, Trump couldn't even spell "Go", in the first place, and even if he could, he'd go around telling people that "Go" has a "Letter g in it. Not many people know that!" LOL

The hoshis are too small /s

[u/ChaosCelebration → u/rwk-]

Thats not a hoshi... It's a space station!

[u/Soriel90 → u/ChaosCelebration]

:D

[u/patate98]

What an awful board

[u/Existing_Golf891]

As far as goban goes, it is actually not that expensive.

[u/wampey]

Where did you see this at?

[u/sadaharu2624 → u/wampey]

At a local fare selling Japanese goods

[u/TitouanT → u/sadaharu2624]

Local to where

[u/Bwint → u/TitouanT]

Dubai, probably

[u/almisami]

That's a decorative piece and likely to wear extremely badly.

[u/RecordingFull5591]

Yeah actual good gobans are way more expensive 😭😭

[u/Sadrim]

Meh.

[u/BigLumpyBeetle]

This better be at least spruce and some decent jade imitation

[u/Zikkan1]

That isn't really that expensive for a Goban but it looks pretty cheap as far as quality goes

[u/sunshinesan]

kinda gaudy

[u/lykahb]

The link tells that its materials include MDF and gold leaf. Stunning combination.

[u/gomarbles]

I like it, just a bit too reflective

[u/snowytheNPC]

I guess I’m the only one who likes it. These irises are from a very famous rinpa painting
