Tale of Genji
    Keywords: Book

Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu. Two of the four references to Go are key plot points.

A superior translation into English is by Edward G. Seidensticker. That, and another partial translation by Suematsu Kencho, translate Igo correctly as Go. Waley's selective translation apparently calls it draughts (checkers).
