Four Houses
Keywords: Culture & History
These are the main four houses (four go schools) in Japan during the Golden Era of Go: There were three minor houses too: Here is the list of Historic Honinbos. The organisation of the four houses of go in the Edo period conforms quite closely to the iemoto system that is found across the whole range of Japanese traditional arts at that time (and with some modification into the Meiji era and later).
[1]Robert Pauli: This link doesn't go to the list of heads as the other three do - the later HistoricHoninbos link does: odd. This is a copy of the living page "Four Houses" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
