	Sensei's Library: Honinbo
		During the Edo period the Honinbo (本因坊, Hon'inbō) was the head of the Honinbo school (originally founded by Honinbo Sansa).
		The Honinbo title is the oldest Go tournament in the world and in some ways still the most prestigious in Japan, though the Kisei and Meijin big titles have larger prize funds.
		Due to the importance of the Honinbo as one of the "big three" titles in Japan (along with the Kisei and Meijin), there are several paths of automatic rank advancement through it in the Nihon Ki-in new promotion system.

	Honinbo
		The Honinbo school was one of four major schools of Go in Japan.
		Upon the closure of the school, the title Honinbo came to be used for the champion of the Honinbo Tournament, which is now an annual event in honour of the school.
		Another prominent member was Honinbo Shusaku (1829 - 1862), who was heir to be head of the school, but died of cholera first.

		The Honinbo title was determined by 6 final games between the two players who scored the highest number of points in four preliminary rounds.
		In the history of the Honinbo competition, four players, Takanawa, Sakata, Ishita and Cho Chi-hoon, each won the title more than five times in a row, hearkening back to the old days of the hereditary title, when a player usually remained Honinbo for the rest of his life, once he earned the title.
		The history of the 55 Honinbo competitions is a symbol of the rise of meritocracy in 20th century civilization.
