I found this interesting variation in a pro game. Can anyone having a Japanese joseki dictionary, check out this variation for me? Ishida's dictionary won't have this variation I think, btw, but there should be newer ones.

Hey lovelove. I looked in my copy of 21st century dictionary of basic joseki and found it. This variation is considered a bit of a special case when B wants to emphasize the top left.

Thank you very much! So should a playable variation. In the real game, the top side was mini-chinese, so this variation seems reasonable. Thank you!

(Edit : top-right... right? not top-left
