Keywords: People
Kajiwara Takeo, Japanese 9-dan professional, born 25 February 1923. His book Ishi no Hoko has been published in English translation as The Direction of Play. Charles Matthews He retired recently from active play. An impressive innovator in joseki and fuseki, and vociferous critic, his ideas often fell outside conventional pro wisdom. Indeed he seems to have the reputation for playing bad moves, as much as brilliant ones. Perhaps he should be seen as a prophetic figure working against the grain of the more complacent tendencies in Japanese go. This is a copy of the living page "Kajiwara Takeo" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
