Honinbo Shuei
Keywords: Culture & History, People
(1854-1907) 17th and again 19th head of the Honinbo house. Very active and innovative in the 1890s, played in a number of jubango. Some photos show him in a fine beard. Shuei was quite a remarkable player. His surviving game records show a very large number of handicap games. It seems he exceeded his contemporaries by a fairly wide margin in a relatively recent era. The other best players of the day (e.g. Honinbo Shusai) appear to have needed at least the handicap of the black stones to play him.
