Takemiya Masaki's 'Cosmic Go' is undoubtedly the best go book I have ever read. I constantly come back to this book, and with each reading I become more convinced of the need to make it available in other languages than Japanese. Indeed, this book gives me a joy I would like to share with as many go players as possible. I am sure it will help you discover not only a new approach to the game, but also a new universe of go: one of philosophy and poetry. Miyakawa Wataru
