Looking for Japanese tsumego books

Post by cornucopia »

Hello everyone,

I recently got a Japanese tsumego book as a gift and I really liked it.

Therefore I'm thinking of buying some more Japanese tsumego and tesuji books. I'm looking for problem books because diagrams aren't that language specific.

Does anyone know of specific books aimed at the sdk level (6/5 kyu and up) that are worth buying? I'm planning to order from yesasia.

Greetings,
Cornucopia

Some recommendations:

Maeda Nobuaki Three volume tsumego. The first volume is 10k to 5k and the second and third work their way up to dan level. Here is a reference to the SL page: http://senseis.xmp.net/?MaedaTsumego

Go Seigen and Segoe Kensaku three volume tesuji dictionary The tesuji dictionary. Problems are three levels, C level is kyu level. SL reference http://senseis.xmp.net/?SegoeTesujiDictionary

Gokyo Shumyo Great classic tsumego collection. Good from SDK to dan level. SL reference http://senseis.xmp.net/?GokyoShumyo
