All-Japan Women's Championship

    Keywords: Tournament

(全日本女子囲碁選手権戦) All-Japan Women's Championship was the first major Japanese women's event and the first continuous event for women. It is also one of the oldest of modern events. Since it was the only major tournament for women when the Honinbo title was the only major title for men, then this women's event was unofficially referred to as the Women's Honinbo. It was also called, Women's Championship for short. After 27-terms, it was replaced by an official Women's Honinbo in 1982.
