From what I have read so far it looks like the Nihon Kiin went over the AGA's head in promoting go in the west. Is this true? Not trying to stir stuff up, but I read differing stories on what happened in NYC and I want to know more about the history.

Where can I read more about the history of Nihon Ki-in / AGA relations? thank you.


The AGA was not involved in the go centers at all, as far as I know. They were set up in various cities around the world at the behest of Iwamoto Kaoru, who provided the funds for them with the goal of helping to spread go in the west. They were owned and administered by the Nihon Ki-in, without any ownership or support from the AGA, though I think the go centers had/have club memberships.
