Hello Joseki,

Welcome to the forum! You mentioned your from the aBudokan list, a very good one as well. After doing a weeny little bit of research, I have found quite a few explanations of 'Joseki' as follows:

I put in 'Joseki' under a google search

http://gobase.org/joseki/ - Online dictionery for Go

http://senseis.xmp.net/?Joseki - (Go related again) says it means 'settled stones'


I put in 'Joseki Grade'

http://www.kikusuikai.org.uk/dojoeti.htm - face the shrine or joseki

All other documents under this search seemed to say joseki in relation to grading/judges etc

I really must get a life! Doing searchs at 8:30am is pretty sad :(

Hope this helps :)

Look forward to hearing more about you and your views.

I found this on Google...

Joseki - The place in a dojo or hall where the seniors or VIP's sit

Asian languages are pretty hard to translate directly into English, so a few differences here and there are bound to happen :)
