Honinbo Shusai's classic problem collection "Shikatsu Myoki" (New Life & Death Brilliant Stratagems) is now added to Sensei's Library. It includes all the problems and their solutions. The intended audience is 5d and above; but as normal anyone can try them, such as presenting them for fun at a local go club.

John Fairbairn also mentioned having an e-book version near completion last year. It will likely be more in-depth (with more variations and historical context), so hopefully those interested will check out that version too.

If it’s just the problems and solutions, no comments from later authors, then I think it may be free meanwhile, at 102 years. DOn’t know whether there may be heirs who claim any rights, though.
