Igo Hatsuyoron
    Keywords: Problem, Culture & History, Book

Igo Hatsuyoron literally means "Explore the Go World" and is a collection of 183 tsumego. It was written in 1713 by Dosetsu Inseki, the 4th head of the Inoue go school, and was designed for the training of the highest caliber students at the school. It was kept secret for all but a few of them, who studied the book under the direct supervision of the Inoue. (Obviously it was kept secret from the other go schools as well!)

In our modern times the text is available to the general public just like a lot of other books. It is not just another book though. Its level is extremely high, at professional standard really.

John Fairbairn Hatsuyou (not hatsuyo) means "generating yang" which is here a way of saying tactics. Igo = go, ron = discussion. There is no reference to world. See my introduction in the Yutopian book if you need more detail.
