3-4, One-Space High Approach, Two-Space High Pincer, Ogeima, Kajiwara's variation

Diag.: Kajiwara's variation

Black 4 is attributed to Kajiwara. This is an imaginative variation. Black 4 is an angle play (in Japanese kado) leading to an unexpected trade of the corner for influence.

Diag.: Main line

This is the main line of this variation. Black 7 adds to the sacrifice, installing serious corner aji. The big question now is how White can close down the corner, while Black tries to build extra outside influence. This joseki is still current in professional play, with White a, b and c coming next.
