img_5235.jpgFinally got back to work on this a few days ago.  I’m working on the bottom: game positions from well-known games.  Longshi (from games of blood and tears), Dosaku (from a Castle Game), Doteki (who died at 21 but defeated Dosaku in this even game), Jowa’s “Best Game of the Era,” Shusaku’s Ear-Reddening Game and his final game against his teacher, Shuwa, Shuei defeating Tamura (later known as Shusai), Go Seigen’s famous game against Shusai, and more to come.  Even though the whole piece is fairly large (22″ x 30″), the board and stones are pretty intricate work.  I’m using acrylic ink with a pen and nib for the stones and writing, and a tiny brush for the wash on the dark stones. Thanks for the patience while I am figuring out how to navigate the blog layout.
