Yasunari Kawabata called "Meijin", published in 1951, his best work. The book is based on a real event – the six–month–long "farewell game" of the great Meijin Hongimbo Shusai, a master of the game of go, against a promising young opponent. A journalist writes about the course of the game, which is guessed by Kawabata himself, who actually reported on the game for the Tokyo Niti-Niti Shimbun newspaper. He watches as the venues of the game change, as each next move takes more and more time, as the health of the elderly master begins to fail, as youth gradually takes over from experience, and age-old traditions give way to scientific calculation and pragmatism. Translated from Japanese by Anna Slashcheva, under the scientific editorship of Vadim Filippov, Master of Sports in go, 4th dan of the Russian Federation of go, and Tatiana Zborovskaya, producer of the Vadim Filippov school.
