Hanami Ko
    Keywords: Ko, Go term

I've always seen this translated as a 'flower-viewing Ko', but I am not sure how literal that is.

Anyway, the gist is that it is a ko where one of the sides stands to lose a lot, wheras the other stands to lose very little.

For the side which has nothing to lose, it is the best type of ko possible, because anything he gains from it will be to his benefit and he doesn't have the risk of losing anything.

An example of a hanami ko is given on GTL review 1558 cut and fight ko.
