Shuho
Keywords: People
Japanese professional. Born 1838 as Murase Yakichi, died 1886. 18th hereditary head of the Honinbo school. Author of Hoen Shinpo, 1882, Shuho's Opening Theory. Shuho was originally passed over for being the head of the Honinbo House. He founded the Hoensha (The Square and Circle Society) an important go organization of the late 1800s. By the time Shuho reconciled with the Honinbo house and was made Honinbo he had come to completely dominate his contemporaries forcing them to the handicap of the black stones. Honinbo Shuho was actually head of the Honinbo house for less than 3 months before his death. He had a very strong attacking style and his games often ended with the death of a group of stones. His pupils were Ishii Senji, Mizutani Nuiji, Miyoshi Kitoku, Sannohe Tomiaki and Oskar Korschelt; Korschelt was a German and one of the first Westerners to learn much about the game of Go.
