+<p><strong>Go In Japanese Education</strong>
+
+<p><strong>&copy; 2002 Milton N. Bradley</a></strong>
+
+<p>To understand the Japanese experience and assess its relevance to the US, some historical
+background is helpful. Go was brought to Japan from China in the 8<sup>th </sup>century A.D. and quickly
+became the favorite intellectual pastime of the nobility and Samurai. In 1612, only a few years
+after he became Shogun in 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu institutionalized Go by establishing the Go
+Academy, and this exalted and specially privileged position for Go in Japanese society remained
+intact for over 250 years until the fall of the Shogunate in the 1868 revolution. Although in
+today's Japan Go masters are "only" respected and wealthy professionals (like those in Sumo,
+Tennis or Golf), Go still occupies a unique position of honor in Japanese cultural life on a par
+with that of art, literature and music. An estimated 10,000,000 million Japanese (almost 10% of
+the entire population!) are ardent Go players, including many of their business executives and 4
+of their 6 Nobel Prize winners, and its popularity is so great that tutorial programs and
+championship matches are routinely broadcast on national TV. 
+
+<p>Mr.Kazuaki Minami, author of a book called "Go and Education", says <em><strong>"One of the most
+important things that Go gives a child is the ability to concentrate"</strong></em>. Richard Bozulich of
+Tokyo's Ishi Press reports that Dr.Akira Tano, a Japanese educational researcher and head of the
+Child Psychology department at Chiba National University, has done extensive testing of young
+Japanese children and has concluded that <strong><em>"studying GO is the best way to develop a child's
+innate intellectual abilities"</strong>.</em> He also points out that <em>"the younger a child learns to play GO, the
+better the results"</em>, and considers the age of 4 or 5 to be the best at which to begin. (At this early
+age, most children typically learn Go <em>informally</em> by the same method of "osmosis" used in
+acquiring language - just by being immersed in a milieu in which it is being practiced, in this
+case simply by watching the excellent play of their parents and the experts shown on TV.)
