    I have read in your glossary that the japanese word for joseki was hall position?

    My only worrey was that 07/11/00 i was given the position of head grader or head of the grading table which was joseki

    have i got my wires crossed or is there more meanings ?????

    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.

    Melanie

    Thank you very much for your input and search on it.

    but its me that needs a life for not getting any sleep and going to bed about 3 in the morning (which is fine if you go out)

    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 :)
