 | | Under this system, Ieyasu created an official office dedicated to the regulation of Go and appointed a monk named Nikkai, who was the tutor for two of Ieyasu's predecessors, to run the bureau under the title of "Meijin," or "brilliant man". |
 | | Shortly after his appointment, Nikkai changed his name to Honinbo Sansa and established four official schools (also known as Houses) of Go: Honinbo, Inoue, Yasui, and Hayashi. |
 | | In recent years, it was believed that while Go was followed intently by the older generations in Asia, the upcoming generations growing up with computers and video games were losing interest in a board game requiring a great deal of patience and concentration. |
