Inoue house from 1824-1846. He proposed a changed numbering that made him the eleventh head (rather than tenth), by includingDoseki at the head of the list.At various times he was known as Hattori Rittetsu, Inoue Ansetsu, Intetsu, Gen(n)an Inseki, Inoue Genan Inseki. A talented player at the highest level, but unlucky in practical terms, he cuts a romantic figure even at this distance. He was involved in one of the most famous games, the game against
Honinbo Shusaku containing the 'ear-reddening move'.External links
