| Post subject: | Learning more about a baduk board |
The attached board was gifted to me by a Korean business associate who does not play baduk. He told me the board was purchased at a shop/parlour near Seochow station in Seoul. It appears to be one solid piece of wood. I would be grateful for explanation of the kanji/hanzi on the back and speculation as to the material. I do not suspect it to be kaya, that would command a cost far exceeding the usual social standards for such a gift. Thank you for your help! |

Hi Drew, Just my guesses: 秋級 -- Autumn grade. ( Not sure what kind of grading it means, though. ) 新榧子 秋級 新榧 -- maybe: shinkaya ( spruce ) ? 逸石 -- maybe name of craftsperson or brand name of the store.

新榧子秋級 shinkaya autumn grade, the last two kanji supposed to be the carpenter's name/title. i am not that familiar to Korean's equipment, but i think it should be the similar to japanese system. |
