These are amongst the rarest and most expensive Out of Print Japanese tsumego books. Celebrated by tsumego enthusiasts in Japan and China, it is extremely difficult to buy or collect the whole collection and even more so if you expect to pay “reasonable” prices. Kada Katsuji (http://senseis.xmp.net/?KadaKatsuji) is celebrated as the God of Life and Death problems and each problem in this collection is well explained with many diagrams and variation. Some problems have sub-variations which form problems in their own right.
