2.6 Korean-Style Go Parlor Ryu2.6韓国系碁会所 柳EP 354:222024-10-29: In the anime the name is changed from Yanagi in the manga to Ryu. While Waya and Isumi are looking for strong players to play Go against, they are introduced to a Go salon. The owner of this salon is Hong Xiuying's uncle, and most of its customers are Korean. Later, Hikaru and Xiuying play a memorable game here. Based on the shops "Utamaru" and "21 Seiki" that appear in the same panel of the manga, we can infer the specific location of this salon. Comparing the manga panel with a real map, the salon seems to have been located in the Ota Building at 26-9 Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku. However, the Ota Building now houses a karaoke chain, "Utahiroba." On the other hand, the exterior of the salon in the manga looks more like the Center Building across the street, so the author may have combined the architectural features of this area. It is also worth noting that "Utamaru" and "21 Seiki" are no longer there and have been replaced by other shops. Model for Xiuying's uncle's Go salon "Yanagi" (exterior). (Vol. 9 pp.100, 159) The drawing appears to combine buildings and signs from this area. 26-9 Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Ota Building; 26-9 Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Metro Building; 25-5 Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Center Building
