| 説明 | My father, who died many years ago, was an avid go player. Every Thursday evening of my young life, he took go lessons from Takao Matsuda. This relationship began when Takao was a young man. Takao married, raised a son, and often brought his family to our house on Thursdays. I still have several drawings that Takao made, since he was a gifted artist. My father used to play in tournaments and was a ranked player. He belonged to the Nippon Club in New York, and whenever we went, our family was the only Caucasian one I saw.I loved to watch games of go. First of all, the pieces themselves looked (and felt) wonderful. The white pieces were made of ivory or shell; the black pieces were made of polished slate. The pieces were kept in smooth wooden bowls that also looked and felt wonderful. When a player placed a piece on the board, it was held between the second and third fingers and put down with a sharp click sound. The posture of each player was almost identical--bodies very still while eyes scanned the board. You could practically hear the gears turning in their brains. When my father died, my brother and I each inherited one of his go sets. I also have a piece of calligraphy that was presented to my father on one occasion. Although I don't play the game, I cherish my set both for its innate beauty and for its wonderful memories. |
