From the Preface --

The essays in the first part of this book were originally published in the Nihon Ki-in (Japan Go Association) magazine “Igo Club” in 1975 and 1976. They were so popular that they were reprinted in book form in January 1977 and since then have been reprinted a further six times. These essays launched Nakayama Noriyuki on what has proved to be a very prolific career as a go writer. He has made a reputation as one of the very few professionals who actually write the material which appears under their names (as opposed to the usual practice of a professional providing illustrative diagrams which are then fleshed out with commentary by a ghost writer).
