Women's World Amateur Go Championship

This was an event created by the Nihon Kiin, presumably for promotion of the game amongst women. Material on the tournament is rather hard to find. Below are the winners by year, with additional reports. After a long hiatus, there are rumours that the event will start again in 2010.
