Question about Honinbo Dosaku

Post by Patternist »

Can anyone tell me the exact quote of Honinbo Dosaku? I heard he said sth like "anyone who knows go is my friend" and "the world of go is open"

It sounds familiar, but I don't remember ever seeing it in writing.

It does not sound like something that would come out of that age. Japanese society was certainly not open at that time. Apocryphal?
