Recently saw a Japanese auction with this wonderful Meiji Era (明治時代) maki-e go set with agate go stones. So gorgeous it would be superfluous for me to further describe with words. Just enjoy these beautiful pictures which I was able to find and share with you all.

Breathtaking. Period
Just another go treasure. It’s gorgeous. Thank you, Mr Chan. 🙂
The bowls are museum pieces. The pictures are very sharp to show details The bowls have straight walls and not curved walls. This the second time I saw straight wallis bowls.
Amazing! Any idea how much it all cost?
It was certainly out of my budget. Unfortunately I can’t remember how much the final bid was.
Wow, it is great!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like those bowls. They look very pretty.
Amazingly beautiful.
Is there a reason why the side of that goban is black? ive seen that on a lot of larger ones, but dont understand why?
Usually for the gobans I have seen that are painted black on the ends, it is to cover up the signature grain of a wood cut considered inferior by goban connoisseurs.
