Hayashi Genbi

    Keywords: People

Hayashi Genbi (1778 - 1861), also known as Genbi Monnyu, was Japanese 8-dan professional Go player (his promotion was disputed). Originally a Honibo pupil, he became the eleventh head of the Hayashi house.

Genbi was the author of the problem collections: Gokyo Shumyo and Gokyo Seimyo and Rankado Kiwa (Hayashi Genbi's Go Stories, 1849). [ext] New In Go has a discussion of these works.

He has been suspected of having falsely claimed that some games of Huang Longshi were ancient games involving Japanese players. (Source: [ext] New In Go)
