Zain Danso

    Keywords: Culture & History

Zain Dansō (Japanese: 坐隠談叢 English: Conversations on Go - A Go History) is an early, influential 20th century work on go history written by Ando Nyoi in Japan.

It is particularly notable for the author's negatively biased account of Honinbo Jowa towards securing the position of Meijin Godokoro, which eventually helped lead to Jowa being informally stripped on his Go Sage title and Shusaku being given the title during Japan's post-WWII period. The book also contains more than 100 game records.
