Shusai
    Keywords: Culture & History, People

Japanese professional. Born 1874, died 18 January 1940.

21st and last hereditary head of the Honinbo school, as well as the 10th Meijin when that title stood for the highest Go authority in Japan, rather than the winner of the current annual title duel. Shusai played a role in founding the Nihon Ki-in and turned the Honinbo title over to the Ki-in, who changed it from a hereditary title to a tournament.

-- Stefan

Known as Tamura Yasuhisa, until 1908.
