Aigo Go Sets for the Blind

 
Aigo Go Set for the Blind - 13 x 13 (approx. 180 stones)

Aigo Go Sets for the Blind

Aigo is a special version of Go that can be played by the visually impaired and blind community. The man to thank for popularising this version of Go is Kakishima Mitsuharu, a Japanese man who lost his sight at the age of 23. Kakishima, who was inspired to start playing Go thanks to anime, has expanded his circle of friends and found a greater sense of purpose in life through the development of Aigo.

By travelling around Japan and promoting Aigo in schools for the blind and other places, he is hoping that more people can experience the same sense of fulfilment that he had by opening up the game of Go to those whom it was not previously possible.

A 13 x 13 Aigo Go Set for the blind. This Go set has raised lines on the MDF board meaning the playing area can be felt by the players. The stones feature a star-shaped underside, allowing the players to place the stones on the ridged surface. Approximately 180 plastic stones are included in this set, 90 of each colour.

The white stones have a smooth surface, whilst the black stones have protruded circular lines on the top, allowing the player to differentiate the colours based on just the feel of the stones.

These Go Sets are not mass produced and are specially made by hand in Japan for the blind community. They are then directly imported to the UK from Japan and it is for these reasons that the price is higher than a lot of our other Go Sets.
