At KUROKI GOISHI TEN we have < the Master Stone >
which forms the basis of our own product standars.
When producing Go Stones, the Master Stone is used in
every stage of the process.
First of all, our craftsman and sorting staff should acquire
knowledge about the Master Stone, and even experts must
not neglect to check it everyday throughout the process.
Any stone which is not the same as the Master Stone, lacks
stability, or has a shape that doesn't suit the hands
will be strictly removed as not suitable.
A stone that meets the criterion has well balanced roundness
according to its size, a nice smooth surface wich fits
in the hands, a beautiful side line with no damage, and
a perfect shape to fully satisfy the player's eyes, ears,
and fingers. |

We at KUROKI GOISHI TEN carefully examine Go
Stones one by one.
The following stones listed must be removed from the regular
merchandise.

( less than 1mm ) or with no sideline tend to chip

Go Stones are unstable and tend to damage Go Boards. |

side line tend to be discolored easily with fingermarks,
and are also unattractive and feel rough. |
