G'day. I am in the last stages of my book on Segoe, entering the period when he concentrated on efforts to help westerners.
He talks about various westerners but (as was normal in those days) he made no attempt to give the names in western form, and I can't reliably guess them from the Japanese form.
I had this problem (still unresolved) with a German who appears to have been called something like Stanbach.
I now have the same problem with an Australian called something like Steward. Can anyone identify him more precisely? Answers by boomerang, please
This chap apparently went to Japan after the war specifically to study go, though Segoe also says he was a member of the occupying forces. Perhaps he was someone who wangled a special posting for himself.
He studied for six months in japan before returning to Sydney where he apparently formed a go club with a university professor at its head.
Any ideas?
