To Our Friends in Asia

I recently acquired a second-hand go set, and I was curious about the meaning of the writing on the box. Anyone care to translate? Maybe it just means "this is a go set," but I'm hoping there's a little more to it than that.

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that Sniff had been updated.

I can't translate off the top of my head, so I'll get back to you. It looks to me that the marking indicate the kind of Go set you have. I see the characters for "white" and "black" and "three". Dunno what the "three" is referring to without translating the character under it.

Hi maybe this is too late already.. but that number 3 is stating that this is 3rd grade.. and other character mention that white pieces are made from 3rd grade Clam shell. Black is also made out of 3rd grade, But i'm not sure what it is actually made out from. The red circle sticker in the middle is a logo for the maker... hope this helps a bit.
