Go bowls, or go-ke are the containers for the stones.

It's also possible to use Go equipment as a low-tech interface to Conway's game of life; use black stones in the board's squares as 'pixels', and for each generation use white stones to indicate where new cells will be born. Then remove 'dead' black stones, replace the white stones with black ones to complete the new generation, and repeat the ...
