| 12 <p><strong>Go In Japanese Education</strong> | |

| 16 <p>To understand the Japanese experience and assess its relevance to the US, some historical | |
| 17 background is helpful. Go was brought to Japan from China in the 8<sup>th </sup>century A.D. and quickly | |
| 18 became the favorite intellectual pastime of the nobility and Samurai. In 1612, only a few years | |
| 19 after he became Shogun in 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu institutionalized Go by establishing the Go | |
| 20 Academy, and this exalted and specially privileged position for Go in Japanese society remained | |
| 21 intact for over 250 years until the fall of the Shogunate in the 1868 revolution. Although in | |
| 22 today's Japan Go masters are "only" respected and wealthy professionals (like those in Sumo, | |
| 23 Tennis or Golf), Go still occupies a unique position of honor in Japanese cultural life on a par | |
| 24 with that of art, literature and music. An estimated 10,000,000 million Japanese (almost 10% of | |
| 25 the entire population!) are ardent Go players, including many of their business executives and 4 | |
| 26 of their 6 Nobel Prize winners, and its popularity is so great that tutorial programs and | |
| 27 championship matches are routinely broadcast on national TV. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 <p>Mr.Kazuaki Minami, author of a book called "Go and Education", says <em><strong>"One of the most | |
| 30 important things that Go gives a child is the ability to concentrate"</strong></em>. Richard Bozulich of | |
| 31 Tokyo's Ishi Press reports that Dr.Akira Tano, a Japanese educational researcher and head of the | |
| 32 Child Psychology department at Chiba National University, has done extensive testing of young | |
| 33 Japanese children and has concluded that <strong><em>"studying GO is the best way to develop a child's | |
| 34 innate intellectual abilities"</strong>.</em> He also points out that <em>"the younger a child learns to play GO, the | |
| 35 better the results"</em>, and considers the age of 4 or 5 to be the best at which to begin. (At this early | |
| 36 age, most children typically learn Go <em>informally</em> by the same method of "osmosis" used in | |
| 37 acquiring language - just by being immersed in a milieu in which it is being practiced, in this | |
| 38 case simply by watching the excellent play of their parents and the experts shown on TV.) | |
