Go Spotting: "When the Last Sword is Drawn"

In this rather sad elegiac 2002 film -- directed by Yojiro Takita -- about the end of the Samurai age, at 46:03 minutes we see a goban (floor board) with two bowls of stones on top of the board, in the background of the scene. At 48:51 we see the local lord playing go on a floor board. - Duncan Brown
