Shuwa

Honinbo Shuwa ( 本因坊 秀和 ) (1820-1873) was the 14th head of the Honinbo school.

He was one of the strongest players during the golden era of Go, along with his pupil Shusaku. In 1842, after Jowa was forced to retire, Shuwa defeated Inoue Gen'an Inseki in two games, blocking the latter's hopes of becoming Meijin.

Father of Shuetsu, Shuei and Shugen.
