Goro
This is a baseball term, which also
have strong
relationship with this exhibition title Nippon Series. Among many
'Japlish baseball terms', Goro is not a katakana word that is incorrect
English since it is onomatopoetic expression of a ball rolling. It is
corrupted form of an English word 'Grounder'. Therefore
It is correct usage of katakana word. This word Goro will probably be
used for good.
This is a piece with combination of anrtificial grass that is a symbol
of contemporary baseball, printed wood and an artificial wood.
