Ryojimari
   

Positions in which one side makes a double enclosure based on a 3-4 point are called ryojimari.

Diag.: ryojimari for both (diagonal type)

This is a simple opening pattern. Black 1 and 3 have been played for about 300 years without ever really being out of fashion (see regulation fuseki).

Before komi Go it was generally considered that this type of opening was too simple from White's point of view - and that therefore White should challenge Black before 7 is played. But it is seen in contemporary Go (for example Kato Masao-Cho Chikun 1988 Honinbo League).
