		Honinbo Shusaku (本因坊秀策 Hon'inbō; Shūsaku, 1829-62) is considered by many to be the greatest player of the golden era of Go in the mid-19th century.
		Back in Edo, Shusaku was asked to become the heir of Shuwa, who was to become the next head of the Honinbo house, but he refused, because of his obligations towards Lord Asano and towards his own family.
		Shusaku is known for being undefeated in all of his nineteen castle games, and for the Shusaku fuseki, which still remains popular.

		It is Honinbo Sansa and his school that Japan must thank a great deal for the level at which go is played at present.
		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.

		Shusaku is generally regarded as the greatest player of the period of the four go houses, when go was a governmentally supported activity in Japan, from 1600-1868.
		Shusaku laid the foundations for modern opening theory, and most players know his favorite opening pattern with Black, called Shusaku's Opening (see the attached SGF file).
		The amazing thing is that Shusaku did all this despite dying in 1862 at the age of 33 of cholera.

		It was previously believed that komi was first introduced around the middle of the 19th century, when players like Honinbo Shuwa and Honinbo Shusaku tried it in relay (team) games.
		They apparently could not decide on whether 3 points or 5 points was more appropriate - Shusaku favoured 5.
		But a book discovered not long ago in Gifu shows two games from the Horeki era (1751~64) between two very strong amateurs where komi is given, But the term used is kaeshi (giving back) and they gave back 3 points.
