Go Interests
When I was in Japan, I used to watch Go programs on Japanese TV and I have a collection of DVD recordings. I used to browse through Second-hand bookshops in Tokyo? and I have a large collection of second-hand Japanese go books.
I'm interested in encouraging people to read Japanese go books. Here's a page to help people who know zero Japanese get started: Basic Japanese for Reading Go Books.
The iPad is a wonderful accessory for go players. I use it for studying go and Japanese, as well as for other purposes.
iPad software that I have:
Go programs that I use regularly
Go programs that I occasionally use or previously used
Japanese programs/websites that I use regularly
