Strike at the waist of the keima

  Difficulty: Intermediate   Keywords: Shape, Proverb

Strike at the waist of the keima is a proverb which advises to cut across(called tsukekoshi in Japanese) a keima.

  • See cut across for a technical treatment; “across” means at the far side from other stones one may have.
  • There was an early mistranslation of this proverb. While koshi in Japanese does mean waist, in tsukekoshi it is a verbal form meaning crossing over. See /Discussion
