Cho U Tsumego and the Nihon Kiin's Dictionaries on Life and Death and Tesuji are a pretty good start. |

The Book to Increase Your Fighting Strength at Go has been highly recommended here and elsewhere. |

Arashi no teknikku by Yamada Kimio 9p might be interesting. It covers common invasion points in corners and erasing points. Very clearly written and not just a "dictionary". It was published by "Mai Navi" in 2015. |

You can buy this book in a PDF version from mynavi: https://book.mynavi.jp/ec/products/detail/id=41277 I like that the Google Translate translation of the title is "Techniques Of Vandalism."

I found the store easily They didn't have any of the listed books but I asked them for a shodan tsumego book Got a 900y book for 600y so a good deal The store has thousands of go books, some of them decades old, copies of old ishi press English books too |

It is a used/old book store so probably doesn't stock books currently in print. However, it is a great place to find old collections of records of games as well as problem books, which don't become obsolete. |

For the OP, in the second image the fourth book from the left on the top shelf is a middle game problem book by Hashimoto Shoji

To the extent your budget allows, I would also buy any Kiseido book you think you will ever want at the Nihon Ki-in. The prices at the Nihon Ki-in bookstore are 30%+ cheaper than the prices listed on the Kiseido website. |

「荒らしのテクニック」 Quote: I like that the Google Translate translation of the title is "Techniques Of Vandalism." The new Google AI (browser version) now gives "Vandalism technique".If anyone has a more professional translation, they can help speed up toward singularity -- next to the translated text is a Feedback button. |

i think arashi can be kind of similar to an invasion in some cases. like when the opponent has a shape that looks like it will become his territory, but you invade, break it up, and turn it into your own territory. i haven't used this word much, though, so i could be wrong. |
