Kuksu
Keywords: Culture & History
The Korean word kuksu corresponds to the Chinese guoshou, a very high term of praise with a meaning like 'national treasure'. It is applied for high mastery in a very few fields such as medicine and go. There were a number of recognised kuksu in Korean when sunjang baduk was the only version of go played. In the modern era, Kuksu is a title competed for annually, corresponding therefore in prestige to the Honinbo title in Japan as having the closest tie with the old tradition. This is a copy of the living page "Kuksu" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
