Outside the Ki-ins

   

(or "One-page history of the most turbulent years of Go in Japan")

Late 19th to 20th-century groupings of pro players in Japan. These are of historical interest, mainly.

Four Houses

  • The Yasui house became extinct in 1903.
  • The Honinbo house came to an end in 1940 with the death of Shusai; it had incorporated the Hayashi house since Shuei joined it.
  • The Inoue house moved from Tokyo to Osaka and continued formally long after the Meiji era, to the late 20th century.
