Guests will also have the opportunity to learn more about Go\, a game that is believed to have been played in Japan since the Nara Period (710-794).\n\n\n\nGo 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 19x19 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.\n\n\n\nVisitors to the Garden will be able to quietly observe the tournament games in progress in the Yanai Classroom. Anybody curious about Go can come to the public presentations by Stewart Towle of Portland Go Club to learn about the origins and cultural history of Go and learn to play this 5000-year-old game of skill.\n\n\n\nAbout the Portland Go Club\n\n\n\nThe Portland Go Club is the official Portland chapter of the AGA (American Go Association). They meet to play and discuss the game of Go. Players of any level or those interested in becoming players are welcome to attend their events\, which include weekly meetings where that feature casual games and discussions of strategy. \n\n\n\nTournament play at Portland Japanese Garden in 2022.\n\n\n\n\n
