One space high approach
Keywords: Opening, Joseki
A corner approach which is on the fourth line, and is one space away in a straight line from the stone that is approached, is called in full a one-space high corner approach (or ikken takagakari in Japanese). This diagram shows such an approach to a 3-4 point.
Many joseki follow from this move. See 3-4 point josekis for a comprehensive listing.
