The Direction Of Play
    Keywords: Strategy, Book

First published 1979 by the Ishi Press, translating Go Super Book 12 from the Nihon Ki-in series. Reprinted by Kiseido.

Over six discussion chapters, a problem section and a detailed game analysis, we have Kajiwara's theory - 'a stone has power', 'move two lost the game', 'living go', 'no real improvement unless you ...'; and so on. This is an artistic rather than a technical theory of go. Or the master chef bawling out the kitchen underlings for lack of committed perception.

Plenty of interesting ideas here. I don't know where one does pick up the concept that good go depends on feeling. Some people might find it in these pages.
