Kamakura
The famous ten game match between Go Seigen and Kitani Minoru in Kamakura, as a result of which Go Seigen was clearly established as number one in the world, is thoroughly analyzed in this massive study by John Fairbairn. Fairbairn draws on a host of sources, most not available in English, to both thoroughly analyze the games and also describe the historical and cultural dimensions of the event. The games are presented using many diagrams, each with only a few new moves, so that the games can be followed and understood without setting up a board. This large format study provides an unusual depth of insight into some famous and important games. Like John Power's 'Invincible' a book of world class that can rank with the best books on go originally written in Asian languages.
