Yasui house

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yasui house (安井家) was one of the four Schools (or Houses) of Go during the Edo period of Japanese history.

The house had one Meijin, in Sanchi. It has been commented that the general style of play tended to the pragmatic, rather than the artistic way. From the fourth head of house onwards, the current head played as Yasui Senkaku. The retirement or posthumous names are given here.
