Go is an ancient board game which takes minutes to learn the rules and a lifetime to master the strategies. The game’s equipment includes a wooden board marked with a 19×19 grid, black stones, and white stones. The object of the game is to surround the largest area and avoid being surrounded. Many players see Go as an analogy for life, an exercise in abstract thinking, or a beautiful art in which black and white dance in a delicate balance across the board.
Visitors to the Garden will be able to quietly observe the championship games in progress in the Yanai Classroom.
