Kajiwara Takeo

    Keywords: People

Kajiwara Takeo (梶原 武雄, born 25 February 1923) is a Japanese 9-dan professional Go player.

His book Ishi no Houkou (石の方向) has been published in English translation as The Direction of Play. In the English versions of the book, the author's name is in the Western order (given name, then family name), Takeo Kajiwara.

He is famous for his uncompromising search for the truth on the go board. He is responsible for discovering many new joseki. When Kitani Minoru became ill and was unable to carry out his teaching duties at the Kitani Dojo, Kajiwara became the principle teacher at the dojo, with pupils such as Ishida Yoshio, Kato Masao, and Takemiya Masaki. A story in Nakayama's book The Treasure Chest Enigma titled "The Clam Shells are Heavy" gives a glimse of Kajiwara's character.

His teacher was Sekiyama Riichi.
