  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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honinbo (本因坊, Hon'inbō) was the name of one of the 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.
The Nihon Ki-in decided to name players who had won the Honinbo tournament 5 times or more in a row (making them Honorary Honinbo) would be given the Honinbo prefix after Cho Chikun won the title 10 timesd in a row..

The Hon'inbo (本因坊) school was one of four major schools of Go in Japan.
Another prominent member was Honinbo Shusaku (1829 - 1862), who was heir to be head of the school, but died of cholera first.
All three of the "go saints" (or Kisei) came from this school - Dosaku, Shusaku and Jowa (although Jowa is frequently reviled because of his machinations while trying to become Meijin).

The strongest go player of his day and the founder of the Honinbo school of go players (one of the four major schools that began in the early 1600s and dominated the go world for centuries), Nikkai is better known as 1st Honinbo Sansa (1559-1623).
This is probably the very board on which Sansa taught the great warlord Oda Nobunaga (1534-82), who first began unifying Japan after centuries of civil strife.
Nobunaga was so impressed by Sansa's go skill (the warlord took five stones from Sansa) that he called him "mejin" or master player, which is said to be the origin of the term's use in go.

The supremacy of the Honinbo school was off and on in danger, but even when the authorities stopped sponsoring go in 1868, the Honinbo school still supplied the strongest go players.
The game between Go Seigen and Honinbo Shusai, which at the time was regarded by everyone (and by some still is) as the game of the century, began on 16 October 1933 and lasted almost three months.
When Go, in August of that year, was in a rush and, against his usual custom, did not make use of a pedestrian crossing, he was hit by a motorcycle that came out of the shadows at high speed while overtaking a bus.

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.
