Old Meijin

The Old Meijin was a Go competition.

Outline

The Old Meijin was the same tournament as the current Meijin. The reason it is called the Old Mejin is because before 1976, the Meijin tournament was hosted by Yomiuri Shimbun. In 1976, Yomiuri Shimbun stopped hosting the Meijin, and started the Kisei. The Meijin tournament then was hosted by another company, Asahi. This tournament thus became called the Old Meijin.
