“Tachi-mori” is the art of drawing lines on high-end go boards using a traditional Japanese sword upon which lacquer has been thinly and evenly applied. Gurujeet Khalsa sent along this video showing the technique. The video is from Kurokigoishiten, which has a fascinating series of videos on making go equipment, including go stones and bowls.
