The Go game was invented in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago and came to Japan in the seventh century. The Nihon Ki-in(日本棋院) was founded in 1924 as the Japan Go Association. Now, the association is the main organisational body for Go in Japan.
The Nihon Ki-in invited twenty active Go instructors in total from the following associations in ASEAN: Brunei Darussalam Go Association, Go Association of Thailand, Singapore Weiqi Association, Malaysia Weiqi Association, Vietnam Go Association, Federasi Igo Indonesia and Philippine Go Association. The camp aims to develop potential leaders across ASEAN’s Go community and build up strong connections among ASEAN’s Go communities and Japan’s Go communities. The Nihon ki-in also encourages schools in ASEAN countries to put Go into their curriculums and education systems.
Schedule in Japan: 14-21 November
Location: Tokyo Green Place Hotel and The Nihon Ki-in
