Honinbo Shuei
    Keywords: Culture & History, People

(1854-1907) 17th and again 19th head of the Honinbo house. Also 13th and final head of the Hayashi house, which in 1884 Shuei merged into the Honinbo house. Very active and innovative in the 1890s, he 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.
