Offering: The very rare second edition woodblock printing of the four volumes set with exemplary print impressions, sharp and bright. The text by Yasui Senchi and the 97 double-page illustrations with top frame commentary on positions and lines of play demonstrate his highly innovative game theory and center play attack. Rarity: Virtually unobtainable, a worldwide catalog search including Japan finds one holding for the first edition and one holding for the second edition, both in the Rare Books Room of the National Diet Library of Japan. Senchi [1770-1838]: Seventh head of Yasui house [1780-1814], also known as the Great Senchi (O-Senchi) and Yasui Senchi Senkaku. He reached 8th dan rank in 1801. Pre-eminent in play, he was never interested in becoming Meijin and finally stepped aside and took over his father's allied Sakaguchi School. No prominent players continued with his style. "The next genius to appear after Satsugen was O-Senchi, who invented a singular style of play that was so bold, revolutionary, and complex that it wasn't imitated until the 1930s. Emphasizing the center by playing on the fourth and fifth lines in the fuseki, instead of on the territory-oriented third line, and building large moyos, he was able to routinely crush opposition." [Shotwell, Go! More Than a Game] A century later, this style came to the forefront with Go Seigen and Kitani Minoru and their highly influential New Fuseki Theory. Now, that historical perspective has been gained, with his emphasis on the center and play from the 4th and 5th lines, O-Senchi is often called the father of the modern game of go.
