Joseki Nomenclature Expert Names/ Discussion
Sub-page of JosekiNomenclatureExpertNames
Hi there! It's a good work to have a nomenclature, but I feel, it will not lead to names easy to be reminded. I have been thinking on the subject, and I think that metaphoric names like nadare and taisha are best. Everybody knows these joseki names, and they stick to the mind much easier than komoku-low approach-high near pincer and the like. So I propose to create a list of animal-plant-object-name for all joseki. That would help me much. Greetings

Mef: I think the idea is that with standardized names someone who has never seen a diagram of the joseki will know what is happening. If you say Magic sword to someone who has never seen the Magic sword, the sequence isn't exactly intuitive from the name, however if you say Komoku, High Approach, 2 space high pincer, outside attachment, they will have some mental picture.
