Approach to 3-4 point

A corner approach which is one space away in a straight line, is called in full a one-space high corner approach (or ikken takagakari in Japanese). This diagram shows such an approach to a 3-4 point.

Many joseki follow from this move. See 3-4 point josekis for a comprehensive listing.
