Hi.
A friend of mine visited recently the Nihon Ki In, he is around 6k, and bought this books.
I am sure the left one is tsumego, but I am not that sure of the second.
Would anybody provide me more help on the names of the books?
Dankenzon

If you put the ISBN number from the back of the book into amazon.co.jp it will show you the Japanese name of the book, and description.
Then paste the japanese provided into
https://translate.google.com
That will give you some idea.

Also
Shikatsu Myoki, a difficult tsumego book by Honinbo Shusai.

And I'm guessing this is a compilation of what he did for Go World where he took your favorite "chunking" to show readers ways to solve the harder problems.

Mr. Rin Kanketsu used to write for
Go World, an AGA publication ?

Marcel answered, but I did mean the currently running Japanese Go World. The old English one was Kiseido published and not AGA and looked to be translations of the Japanese magazines of the time.

The right one says 出る順て学ぶ 実戦死活, which means something like "Learn real-game life-and-death by their move order", but I'm not sure about the 出る順 part. The book presents basic shapes, shows the move order through which they occur and then has a list of variations as sub-problems. It's by Yamashita Keigo. You can buy a PDF version at

Thank you Marcel!!
