Japanese Go Game Stone Goishi Set

This is a vintage Goishi, or go stone, set used to play the popular strategy board game Igo, or Go. Black and white stones are used as game pieces by two players. By placing the stones on the intersections of lines on a go board, the goal of the game is to section off a larger portion of the board as the other player.
This set of glass material stones is contained in carved wood brown bowls for easy, decorative storage.
