(女流棋聖戦) This is the female-only namesake of the Japanese Kisei title, though its prestige among the women's titles is considerably lower than the open Kisei for its quickplay format. The 2020 Nihon Ki-in ordering of women's events is 1. Women's Honinbo, 2. Women's Meijin, 3. Tachiaoi Cup(former Aidu Chuo Hospital Cup), 4. Women's Kisei, 5. Female Strongest (domestic Senko Cup).
