I have been searching for a way to see this movie:
but I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone know a way to watch this movie in USA? Rent, buy, stream, whatever… I really want to see it. Thanks.
It is available on Youtube without English subtitles:
My Go teacher said that he watched this movie until he fell asleep…

Cool. Though I’m not sure how much I would get out of it without subtitles…
There actually isn’t that much dialogue in the movie, so I do not really know if it changes anything if you know the languages or not. Perhaps the movie even improve if you do not now the language because then you do not realize that the dialogue is largely irrelevant for the plot.
It is a very slow movie. It is like a collection of dioramas showing scenes from the life of Wu.

I see it is called The Go Master, not The Master of Go. Is it based on the book, about Go Seigen, or something else?

I have a subtitles file:
- The Go Master (2006).en.srt
If it helps I can upload it somewhere (or probably even just paste it here as it is actually plain text). You only need to put it in the same directory as the video file and give it the same file name plus extension “.srt”, and then VLC video player (and possibly others) will play it fine.
BTW there also exists yet another movie with “go” and “master” in its title:
- The Go Masters (Mikan no taikyoku, 1982)

That would be helpful. Very much want to see this movie with English subs. Now I just need the video file of the original movie…
copy this text, save as file with exact name of the video file and extension “.srt”

7
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:36,500
There are still monkeys nearby-
8
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:46,843
- Many? Not too many?
- Not many
9
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:51,843
Monkeys have factions-
10
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:54,350
Even monkeys form factions-
11
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:56,021
what are you talking about?
12
00:00:56,322 --> 00:01:00,622
They come here-
13
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:04,160
Sometimes they appear-
14
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:09,198
They eat our persimmons-
15
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:10,987
wu Qingyuan was born in 1914-
16
00:02:11,197 --> 00:02:13,028
He began learning Go at 7 from his father-
17
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:15,326
At 11, the records of his matches
were sent to Japan
18
00:02:15,535 --> 00:02:17,332
thus began his destiny as a Go player-
19
00:02:18,505 --> 00:02:20,234
Mr- Segoe saw my records
20
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,340
and said I was Shusaku reincarnated-
21
00:02:22,542 --> 00:02:24,271
Shusaku was the "Saint of Go"
22
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:26,206
in mid-19th Century Japan-
23
00:02:26,412 --> 00:02:29,848
in terms of Go or Player-
24
00:05:18,017 --> 00:05:20,611
3-3-Star-Center Strategy-
25
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,448
what extraordinarily original moves-
26
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:27,359
It would upset the Honinbo-
27
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:30,687
The newspapers these days
28
00:05:30,897 --> 00:05:34,355
trumpet the phrase "Japan-China showdown-"
29
00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:36,296
But it doesn't apply here-
30
00:05:36,502 --> 00:05:37,469
Master
31
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,605
All I want is the growth of Go in Japan-
32
00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:43,469
You'll enjoy tomorrow's paper-
33
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:45,599
Excuse me
34
00:05:45,878 --> 00:05:46,936
Master,
35
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:51,549
after the 21st match, Shuusai
has declared an adjournment-
36
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:59,817
well then, it's time for me
to take my leave-
37
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:02,323
I must rush to send off my article-
38
00:06:02,795 --> 00:06:03,727
In 1933,
39
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:05,522
wu Qingyuan won the right to play against
40
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:09,361
Honinbo Shuusai,
the highest ranking player-
41
00:06:11,604 --> 00:06:12,502
At that time,
42
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:14,138
I was fascinated by
the Shin Fuseki technique-
43
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:15,398
So, from the start,
44
00:06:15,608 --> 00:06:17,200
I played the 3-3-Star-Center strategy-
45
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,037
Segoe-san,
46
00:06:19,245 --> 00:06:23,739
Yomiuri Newspaper's coverage is
psychologically taxing wu-san-
47
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:27,879
You must caution him against it-
48
00:06:28,621 --> 00:06:29,849
Yes-
49
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,961
Mom, I'm back-
50
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:50,541
Brother! Brother!
51
00:06:51,043 --> 00:06:52,237
Look-
52
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:56,013
"Japan-China showdown-"
53
00:07:06,359 --> 00:07:07,587
Qingyuan-
54
00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:13,823
If our respective countries go to war,
55
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,394
it may become difficult
for you to remain in Japan-
56
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:24,669
But if you return to China,
57
00:07:24,877 --> 00:07:27,505
given these troubled times,
58
00:07:27,713 --> 00:07:32,480
I doubt you'll be able to play Go-
59
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:44,358
Go knows no nations-
60
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:51,961
would you consider becoming
a Japanese citizen?
61
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:22,657
If you purify your heart
into a polished mirror,
62
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:28,302
and shine consecrated light on all things,
63
00:08:29,408 --> 00:08:32,610
...eventually you shall attain
64
00:08:32,611 --> 00:08:35,813
Budda-hood, ultimate
enlightenment-
65
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:44,519
Recently,
66
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:49,752
I feel I am being guided by something
67
00:08:51,731 --> 00:08:55,599
that makes me insist on this-
68
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:05,506
when your tournament is over,
69
00:09:06,512 --> 00:09:12,212
I will personally guide you
to the ultimate enlightenment,
70
00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:17,752
so that your physical body and your soul
71
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:23,520
may enter the blessed realm-
72
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:32,369
Thank you, master-
73
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:37,734
Qingyuan-
74
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:40,375
God... -
75
00:09:40,613 --> 00:09:42,843
has blessed you,
76
00:09:43,049 --> 00:09:48,009
with the gift of Go-
77
00:09:48,688 --> 00:09:54,285
You must pursue this gift-
78
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,092
Yes-
79
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:06,099
The white piece
80
00:10:06,839 --> 00:10:08,170
rushes over,
81
00:10:08,374 --> 00:10:11,571
and the black spreads here-
82
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,710
Did Shuusai only play one stone today?
83
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:26,383
Mr- Cat!
84
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:36,024
Then white moves here next, or... -
85
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:39,236
This is the largest white area, right?
86
00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:41,201
You teach them-
87
00:11:00,059 --> 00:11:02,220
For Shuusai,
88
00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:07,229
Go matches are his life-
89
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,261
He's desperate to defend
90
00:11:11,470 --> 00:11:13,097
his unbroken string of victories-
91
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:21,936
All the more so against you,
92
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,481
a Chinese opponent-
93
00:11:28,421 --> 00:11:32,983
I don't know how long their match will last-
94
00:11:35,061 --> 00:11:37,689
They have to finish sometime-
95
00:11:41,734 --> 00:11:43,031
what's this?
96
00:11:45,504 --> 00:11:50,168
You've got to play quietly-
97
00:11:56,449 --> 00:12:00,476
Number 26, please come
to the special window-
98
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:29,074
we'll process your application-
Please sign-
99
00:12:44,563 --> 00:12:46,588
Are you ready?
100
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:24,282
In 1935, Saionji Kintake passed away-
101
00:15:26,625 --> 00:15:29,719
During that period,
102
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:32,193
my only refuge from exhaustion... -
103
00:15:32,398 --> 00:15:34,798
was Saionji's house-
104
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,867
But he was gone forever-
105
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:31,353
Student Dormitory
106
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:45,535
They'll hurl insults at
you if you wear those-
107
00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:56,178
Can I see Mr- Li Yutang
as soon as possible?
108
00:16:56,382 --> 00:16:58,475
Eat something first-
109
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:01,878
why are you in such a rush to see Mr- Li?
110
00:17:08,827 --> 00:17:10,260
What's the matter?
111
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,721
Did you catch a cold?
112
00:17:15,267 --> 00:17:16,859
Brother,
113
00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:21,134
I want to join the Hongwan League-
114
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:34,916
Mr- Segoe sent me a telegram-
115
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,111
He's concerned about you
116
00:17:37,322 --> 00:17:40,291
and hopes you'll return to Japan soon-
117
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:54,595
Is Mr- Li Yutang in?
118
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:56,672
He's upstairs-
119
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:17,324
In God, you'll find the roots of your soul-
120
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:21,226
Mutual friendship and cooperation,
121
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:26,837
avoid involvement in parties and
factions, stay clear of politics,
122
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:31,305
stamp out conflicts and
bring about world peace -
123
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:36,345
these are the objectives of
the Hongwan League-
124
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:27,163
My fever is gone-
125
00:19:27,432 --> 00:19:31,232
I can even go for a walk-
126
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,808
My husband insisted
127
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:51,012
I deliver this script to you-
128
00:19:53,725 --> 00:19:56,558
I am very grateful-
129
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:01,961
How is Master Roppeita?
130
00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:07,302
Everyone is so unsettled
131
00:20:07,506 --> 00:20:10,339
by these tumultuous times,
132
00:20:10,542 --> 00:20:15,377
that he and I rarely go out-
133
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:23,487
It's so very calm here-
134
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:26,984
But... -
135
00:20:27,659 --> 00:20:32,028
I hear the winters here are bitterly cold-
136
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,789
we're considering
137
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:38,959
moving you to another sanitarium-
138
00:20:40,105 --> 00:20:41,504
No, thanks-
139
00:20:41,707 --> 00:20:45,336
I like the dry air here-
140
00:20:45,544 --> 00:20:49,378
It's like the air in Beijing-
141
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:02,525
It's gotten cold-
142
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:05,620
Yes, it has-
143
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:09,363
It's getting cold
144
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:14,665
earlier this year than last-
145
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:20,701
I hear the mountains have
146
00:21:20,912 --> 00:21:24,678
already had their first snows-
147
00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:32,183
war has finally broken out-
148
00:21:34,326 --> 00:21:40,629
I wonder how wu is doing
these days-
149
00:21:42,768 --> 00:21:45,669
Like always,
150
00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:49,702
he reads all day long-
151
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:55,513
He's been
152
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:59,741
reading the Chinese classics,
153
00:22:00,886 --> 00:22:04,583
trying to calm his spirits-
154
00:22:05,957 --> 00:22:09,916
It's very painful to watch-
155
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:17,468
I rented
156
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:21,127
a house nearby-
157
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:23,974
when he's released
from the sanitarium,
158
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:28,909
I'll move him in-
159
00:22:30,248 --> 00:22:35,151
It'll be easier to look after him that way-
160
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:39,152
If there's anything I can do,
161
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:42,953
please let me know-
162
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:52,257
In 1936, wu had a TB relapse,
163
00:23:52,464 --> 00:23:55,865
and went to Mt- Fuji to rest-
164
00:23:57,536 --> 00:23:59,299
As time flew by,
165
00:23:59,504 --> 00:24:02,837
I felt the world was
going through turbulent changes-
166
00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:06,169
Only the world of Go was as tranquil
as the Taikoko Lake-
167
00:24:06,378 --> 00:24:09,006
I couldn't abandon Go, my calling-
168
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:13,617
I wanted to live with it in this world-
169
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:36,032
"Standing on the balcony at night,
staring at the moon,
170
00:24:36,241 --> 00:24:39,210
"I can see the crimson parapets
171
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:41,971
"of Yatsugatake's western slopes,
172
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:46,674

00:25:01,399 --> 00:25:05,358
You've memorized it entirely-
178
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:08,298
You write beautifully-
179
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:12,876
I never imagined you could write so well-
180
00:25:17,415 --> 00:25:19,781
You're the writer-
181
00:25:19,985 --> 00:25:22,385
I am embarrassed-
182
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:33,960
wu san-
183
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:42,069
wind blows... -
184
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:53,024
It's time-
185
00:29:13,218 --> 00:29:15,379
In 1939, after Shuusai retired,
186
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:18,021
wu Qingyuan and Kitani Minoru competed
187
00:29:18,223 --> 00:29:19,918
in the Ten-Game Tournament
188
00:29:20,125 --> 00:29:23,060
for the top Go ranking in Japan-
189
00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:28,089
Mr- Kitani devoted himself to Go-
190
00:29:28,299 --> 00:29:30,324
we had a great affinity-
191
00:29:30,535 --> 00:29:33,333
I always regarded him as my older brother-
192
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:07,462
Excuse me-
193
00:30:07,672 --> 00:30:12,075
It's a little too bright,
may I ask you to close the doors?
194
00:30:12,677 --> 00:30:14,668
May we?
195
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:17,778
Please do-
196
00:32:12,897 --> 00:32:17,459
I already put the money
under the wastebasket-
197
00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:20,570
I think that's best-
198
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:25,675
what if something happens to my family?
199
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:27,668
Dear, what if
200
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,045
Qingyuan-san beats Kitani-san
201
00:32:30,248 --> 00:32:31,909
in this Ten-Game Tournament?
202
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:42,153
In this climate between Japan and China,
203
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,624
you should cancel the competition-
204
00:32:44,829 --> 00:32:46,990
Hold your tongue-
205
00:32:47,832 --> 00:32:49,459
wu-san-
206
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:54,060
I brought you here to Japan,
207
00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:58,606
so that you could dedicate your life to Go-
208
00:32:58,843 --> 00:33:01,038
This incident
209
00:33:01,245 --> 00:33:05,648
cannot simply be blamed
on jingoistic papers-
210
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:10,014
I deeply regret the current situation-
211
00:33:11,856 --> 00:33:16,259
Under such conditions, a professional player
212
00:33:16,694 --> 00:33:22,894
must be prepared to brave
even death on the Go board-
213
00:35:13,678 --> 00:35:14,406
Kitani-san,
214
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,409
please stay, rest-
215
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:20,607
I want to watch while my opponent ponders-
216
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:30,224
Kitani-san!
217
00:35:34,665 --> 00:35:38,658
The first match lasted 3 days-
218
00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:43,901
I won that match by 2 points-
219
00:35:44,108 --> 00:35:47,271
It was the first of nearly 100 games,
220
00:35:47,478 --> 00:35:51,005
I would play in Ten-Game Tournaments-
221
00:35:51,215 --> 00:35:54,048
It was a... -
222
00:35:54,252 --> 00:35:59,690
soul-stirring struggle-
223
00:36:23,514 --> 00:36:25,414
Master Minemura!
224
00:36:30,888 --> 00:36:32,788
Hello-
225
00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:35,552
My class just finished-
226
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,058
Let me introduce you-
227
00:36:38,262 --> 00:36:40,992
This is Nakahara Kazuko,
228
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:45,101
Master Minemura's relative, and a student-
229
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:48,733
This is wu Qingyuan-
230
00:36:51,943 --> 00:36:56,141
I saw your photograph in a magazine-
231
00:36:57,148 --> 00:37:00,117
You're just like your picture-
232
00:37:01,485 --> 00:37:05,581
Kazuko-san is also praying here-
233
00:37:05,823 --> 00:37:07,723
That's good-
234
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:10,518
This is the book
235
00:37:10,728 --> 00:37:15,358
that Kitani Minoru-san and I wrote-
236
00:37:17,501 --> 00:37:20,026
Thank you so much-
237
00:38:46,123 --> 00:38:49,024
Do you really have to go back?
238
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:59,935
Do you like her?
239
00:40:43,007 --> 00:40:46,238
May the guests all rise-
240
00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:51,741
Please raise your cups to celebrate
241
00:40:55,519 --> 00:41:00,821
this blessed day-
242
00:41:01,025 --> 00:41:02,549
Please-
243
00:41:16,807 --> 00:41:22,006
My relatives sent us some low-grade rice-
244
00:41:23,747 --> 00:41:26,807
You should take some-
245
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:33,014
Shoriki Matsutaro phoned
246
00:41:33,224 --> 00:41:36,284
to say he couldn't come-
247
00:41:37,728 --> 00:41:40,094
Don't lose this address-
248
00:41:40,297 --> 00:41:43,198
You can buy food there-
249
00:41:44,335 --> 00:41:45,927
Thank you-
250
00:41:46,136 --> 00:41:51,574
The Yomiuri newspaper canceled
the match with Karigane-san-
251
00:41:51,942 --> 00:41:57,380
No doubt out of concern
for his reputation and health-
252
00:44:31,435 --> 00:44:33,869
84cm
253
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,632
81cm
254
00:44:43,313 --> 00:44:46,043
69 kilos
255
00:44:49,953 --> 00:44:51,580
Iwasaki!
256
00:44:56,126 --> 00:44:58,185
1 meter 70 cm
257
00:45:07,237 --> 00:45:10,695
No- 12, Takaoka Yuji!
258
00:45:13,377 --> 00:45:15,004
61 kilos
259
00:46:08,065 --> 00:46:11,296
Are you wu Qingyuan?
260
00:46:11,502 --> 00:46:12,969
Yes-
261
00:46:13,170 --> 00:46:16,003
You're really wu Qingyuan, the Go player?
262
00:46:16,206 --> 00:46:18,174
Yes, I am-
263
00:46:18,776 --> 00:46:21,609
You have lingering tuberculosis-
264
00:46:21,812 --> 00:46:24,474
You're exempt from the draft-
265
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:52,038
It's time-
266
00:47:17,601 --> 00:47:19,262
wu san,
267
00:47:20,204 --> 00:47:25,642
tomorrow I report to the draft
board for a physical-
268
00:47:26,610 --> 00:47:30,102
I already went-
269
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:32,905
I did not pass-
270
00:47:34,084 --> 00:47:38,384
If I am drafted,
271
00:47:39,423 --> 00:47:43,951
this will probably be my final game-
272
00:47:45,229 --> 00:47:49,165
Please come home safely-
273
00:47:49,399 --> 00:47:52,891
when you do, let's play again-
274
00:47:53,103 --> 00:47:56,504
Thank you-
275
00:48:58,035 --> 00:49:00,094
Hello-
276
00:49:00,570 --> 00:49:02,197
Hello-
277
00:49:02,639 --> 00:49:06,268
wu-san is here-
278
00:49:08,178 --> 00:49:11,079
Oh, wu-san-
279
00:49:14,418 --> 00:49:18,354
All right, that's all for today-
280
00:49:18,956 --> 00:49:22,619
You're lucky you get to go home early today-
281
00:49:23,527 --> 00:49:26,553
Thank teacher-
282
00:49:32,836 --> 00:49:35,202
Kimono for your children-
283
00:49:35,405 --> 00:49:37,965
Thank you-
284
00:49:39,743 --> 00:49:42,906
How about some tea in the other room?
285
00:49:43,113 --> 00:49:45,877
We'll have some later-
286
00:49:46,249 --> 00:49:47,876
Please, this way-
287
00:50:23,620 --> 00:50:26,214
when do you deploy?
288
00:50:27,357 --> 00:50:30,690
As soon as I'm notified-
289
00:50:47,377 --> 00:50:50,210
what about the children?
290
00:50:51,248 --> 00:50:54,979
They will go home until I return-
291
00:51:16,073 --> 00:51:19,804
Aren't you going to China?
292
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,378
Don't know yet-
293
00:52:05,355 --> 00:52:06,652
wu san-
294
00:52:10,060 --> 00:52:12,858
It's best that you come with me-
295
00:52:13,497 --> 00:52:17,228
The entire Go academy has evacuated-
296
00:52:17,434 --> 00:52:19,766
Tokyo is too dangerous-
297
00:52:23,206 --> 00:52:27,575
I cannot leave Tokyo-
298
00:52:29,379 --> 00:52:30,573
I must... -
299
00:52:30,780 --> 00:52:35,479
protect the sect-
300
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:43,221
The Honinbo match... -
301
00:52:43,426 --> 00:52:46,418
Somehow, we'll manage to relocate it
302
00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:49,997
to Hiroshima and have it there-
303
00:52:51,968 --> 00:52:56,098
I want to focus
304
00:52:56,306 --> 00:53:00,675
on the pursuit of my faith-
305
00:53:02,345 --> 00:53:05,143
The Honinbo competition
306
00:53:05,348 --> 00:53:09,808
is the most important in the world of Go-
307
00:53:10,921 --> 00:53:14,220
It's fine to focus on your faith,
308
00:53:14,424 --> 00:53:18,485
but I won't let you abandon Go-
309
00:53:19,462 --> 00:53:21,692
I... -
310
00:53:22,532 --> 00:53:26,059
plan to quit Go-
311
00:53:26,269 --> 00:53:28,931
Ridiculous-
312
00:53:29,472 --> 00:53:34,068
How dare you say that!
313
00:53:41,785 --> 00:53:43,946
Wu san,
314
00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:48,157
seriously reconsider-
315
00:53:48,592 --> 00:53:52,255
I'll be in touch-
316
00:53:52,596 --> 00:53:55,463
Take care of yourself-
317
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:02,402
Please be well, too-
318
00:54:17,020 --> 00:54:23,152
Hurry!
319
00:54:34,838 --> 00:54:38,774
Further back-
320
00:56:35,859 --> 00:56:37,986
I'm sure you understand
321
00:56:38,194 --> 00:56:42,255
why I want to convene
the Honinbo Competition
322
00:56:42,465 --> 00:56:44,729
even under these conditions-
323
00:56:44,934 --> 00:56:48,028
A professional player cannot waste matches-
324
00:56:48,238 --> 00:56:50,832
Have you reached wu-san?
325
00:56:51,474 --> 00:56:54,637
They've been displaced
326
00:56:55,211 --> 00:56:57,611
and are difficult to find-
327
00:56:57,814 --> 00:57:01,011
without him, there is no competition-
328
00:57:02,419 --> 00:57:06,412
Somehow, we've got to find him-
329
00:57:14,364 --> 00:57:18,892
wu san refused to participate-
330
00:57:49,699 --> 00:57:52,361
Calm down!
331
00:57:53,470 --> 00:57:56,633
Calm down!
332
00:57:57,173 --> 00:58:00,336
Pour water!
333
00:58:05,782 --> 00:58:10,276
Run into the wind!
334
00:58:44,554 --> 00:58:47,318
We are in
335
00:58:47,624 --> 00:58:51,116
the age of decadence-
336
00:58:52,061 --> 00:58:56,725
Japan now faces events
337
00:58:56,933 --> 00:59:00,699
which will overturn heaven and earth-
338
00:59:02,872 --> 00:59:09,141
The sun goddess has entrusted me
339
00:59:09,479 --> 00:59:14,644
to save you from this degenerate hour-
340
00:59:16,986 --> 00:59:20,945
I have been granted the name Jiko-
341
00:59:32,902 --> 00:59:35,769
Respect Jiko, Jikou appears:
342
00:59:37,173 --> 00:59:40,199
Respect Jiko, Jikou appears:
343
00:59:41,878 --> 00:59:45,006
Respect Jiko, Jikou appears:
344
00:59:46,816 --> 00:59:50,183
Respect Jiko, Jikou appears:
345
01:01:12,702 --> 01:01:15,398
Resume the match-
346
01:01:15,638 --> 01:01:20,905
In 1945, the U-S- dropped
the atomic bombs on Japan-
347
01:01:22,679 --> 01:01:24,237
The final competition
348
01:01:24,447 --> 01:01:27,007
of the Honinbo School
was held in Hiroshima,
349
01:01:27,216 --> 01:01:30,242
Mr- Segoe's hometown-
His son died in the bomb-
350
01:01:30,453 --> 01:01:34,287
Japan surrendered-
351
01:01:48,671 --> 01:01:50,366
wait! Stop!
352
01:01:50,807 --> 01:01:51,899
Police!
353
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,347
The Yomiuri Newspaper proposed
354
01:03:07,550 --> 01:03:12,214
to revive the Ten-Game Tournament-
355
01:03:13,489 --> 01:03:16,754
I've agreed-
356
01:03:22,031 --> 01:03:24,591
But I have
357
01:03:24,801 --> 01:03:27,929
dedicated myself to my faith-
358
01:03:28,137 --> 01:03:33,040
I have not played Go in 2 years-
359
01:03:34,677 --> 01:03:36,406
This is
360
01:03:36,612 --> 01:03:38,079
an excellent opportunity
to spread our beliefs-
361
01:03:38,281 --> 01:03:40,806
I want you to participate,
362
01:03:41,651 --> 01:03:46,884
on behalf of the sect-
363
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,253
Please begin-
364
01:06:18,841 --> 01:06:21,776
Open the door! We are police!
365
01:06:23,145 --> 01:06:25,636
Open the door! We are police!
366
01:06:28,951 --> 01:06:30,646
Come over
367
01:06:38,594 --> 01:06:40,152
The door is open
368
01:06:40,730 --> 01:06:42,061
Go!
369
01:06:42,565 --> 01:06:45,125
What do you want?
370
01:06:45,568 --> 01:06:47,763
Give the way
371
01:06:51,173 --> 01:06:52,504
Don't come up!
372
01:07:08,024 --> 01:07:09,958
Why are you here?
373
01:07:11,794 --> 01:07:14,024
You've broken the Grain Control Regulation
374
01:07:14,230 --> 01:07:16,061
That's our own rice
375
01:07:16,265 --> 01:07:17,527
right
376
01:07:17,733 --> 01:07:18,859
It's ours!
377
01:07:19,068 --> 01:07:21,730
We arrested the leader!
378
01:07:43,659 --> 01:07:45,991
Let him go!
379
01:07:46,195 --> 01:07:48,857
Let him go!
380
01:07:50,199 --> 01:07:52,030
Let him go!
381
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:53,599
What are you doing?
382
01:07:53,803 --> 01:07:55,395
Don't touch him! Let go of him!
383
01:07:55,604 --> 01:07:57,333
Let go!
384
01:09:30,432 --> 01:09:34,198
I want to use Kinmoku's country
house on Lake Yamanaka
385
01:09:35,070 --> 01:09:38,005
as the sect's base-
386
01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:43,676
Kinmoku should return to the sect-
387
01:09:45,214 --> 01:09:49,207
Tell her I'm the God of the universe
388
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:54,016
You should bring her back-
389
01:10:58,354 --> 01:11:00,185
It's Mr wu
390
01:11:00,789 --> 01:11:03,622
Come in please
391
01:11:04,827 --> 01:11:06,920
Come in, come in-
392
01:11:28,384 --> 01:11:31,945
Do you feel a little better?
393
01:11:33,022 --> 01:11:34,922
Much better
394
01:11:35,257 --> 01:11:37,953
Thank you-
395
01:11:42,464 --> 01:11:45,262
Jikou-san
396
01:11:46,168 --> 01:11:51,538
is blessed with great spiritual powers-
397
01:11:52,174 --> 01:11:54,608
But recently... -
398
01:11:54,810 --> 01:11:59,304
she's been possessed by evil spirit,
399
01:11:59,515 --> 01:12:04,885
by the evil spirit called
"delusions of grandeur-"
400
01:12:09,258 --> 01:12:12,625
Please think it over
401
01:12:16,198 --> 01:12:18,359
Mr wu
402
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:23,502
I will not see her anymore
403
01:12:26,208 --> 01:12:30,736
I could not trust her
404
01:12:36,285 --> 01:12:38,082
Mr wu
405
01:12:38,620 --> 01:12:41,851
Excuse me for being blunt
406
01:12:42,191 --> 01:12:46,560
She is making use of you-
407
01:12:48,097 --> 01:12:50,998
what you are seeking
408
01:12:51,633 --> 01:12:55,194
and probe
409
01:12:55,404 --> 01:12:59,773
having nothing in common-
410
01:13:07,850 --> 01:13:11,081
It's time for you to rest-
411
01:13:11,286 --> 01:13:15,086
I'm afraid you'll catch a cold-
412
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,000
Finally, your fever's gone-
413
01:16:53,475 --> 01:16:56,876
You've been unconscious for days-
414
01:16:57,079 --> 01:17:01,675
and had wild talks-
415
01:17:05,387 --> 01:17:09,824
It's really made me worried-
416
01:17:13,595 --> 01:17:15,563
Mr wu
417
01:17:16,264 --> 01:17:19,256
I will reconsider
418
01:17:19,768 --> 01:17:22,896
meeting with Jikou-san-
419
01:17:24,306 --> 01:17:30,677
Things are going bad at Hachinohe-
420
01:17:33,281 --> 01:17:36,148
There's a liquor manufacturer
421
01:17:36,351 --> 01:17:38,319
who joined Jiu Kyou
422
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:43,048
donate a house to the sect-
423
01:17:43,258 --> 01:17:46,318
His enraged family
424
01:17:46,528 --> 01:17:49,463
hired local men
425
01:17:49,665 --> 01:17:52,532
to attack the sect's base-
426
01:17:52,734 --> 01:17:56,761
It degenerated into a riot-
427
01:18:10,752 --> 01:18:12,549
I have go back-
428
01:18:20,462 --> 01:18:22,123
Stop!
429
01:18:23,065 --> 01:18:25,898
Please, stop!
430
01:21:00,455 --> 01:21:03,185
My legs gave out-
431
01:21:04,459 --> 01:21:06,859
I'm all right-
432
01:21:08,830 --> 01:21:12,163
I thought I'd never see you again-
433
01:21:13,735 --> 01:21:17,193
I am really worried about you-
434
01:22:04,486 --> 01:22:05,817
Iwamoto-san,
435
01:22:06,021 --> 01:22:08,353
unless wu san arrives in the next 5 minutes,
436
01:22:08,556 --> 01:22:11,286
the match must be forfeited-
437
01:22:11,559 --> 01:22:13,959
Please wait a little longer-
438
01:22:14,629 --> 01:22:19,032
Traveling is difficult these days-
439
01:23:00,241 --> 01:23:02,175
Thank you for everything-
440
01:23:02,377 --> 01:23:04,242
I'm leaving
441
01:23:04,446 --> 01:23:07,438
Mr wu, here's a letter for you-
442
01:23:08,249 --> 01:23:09,477
Thank you-
443
01:23:10,085 --> 01:23:11,712
watch your steps
444
01:23:38,413 --> 01:23:41,246
I've escaped from the Jiu Keyou
445
01:23:41,449 --> 01:23:46,284
I could no longer trust Jikou
446
01:23:46,755 --> 01:23:48,882
The essence of our faith is
utterly incompatible
447
01:23:49,090 --> 01:23:52,685
with her methods of proselytizing-
448
01:23:53,428 --> 01:23:57,023
So I left her
449
01:23:57,532 --> 01:24:00,558
I am late to see this,
450
01:24:00,902 --> 01:24:04,770
and I've caused you lots of suffering
451
01:24:04,973 --> 01:24:07,441
I am deeply sorry-
452
01:24:08,309 --> 01:24:12,507
I am going to visit my parents in Hokkaido,
453
01:24:12,714 --> 01:24:18,084
After that I will wait you in Tokyo
454
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,300
It's you-
455
01:29:07,475 --> 01:29:11,605
In 1948, wu Qingyuan left the Jiu Kyou-
456
01:29:13,414 --> 01:29:17,077
...- Although I could not get the truth
I'm seeking for from Jiu Kyou
457
01:29:17,285 --> 01:29:20,846
but I always held onto my faith,
which kept me invincible in the Go world
458
01:29:21,055 --> 01:29:25,355
even in the most tumultuous times-
459
01:29:27,061 --> 01:29:28,756
Let's start!
460
01:29:28,963 --> 01:29:31,932
Let's play grimace
461
01:29:32,133 --> 01:29:35,193
The one who laughs first will lose
462
01:29:35,403 --> 01:29:37,701
ha ha
463
01:29:50,818 --> 01:29:53,378
Uncle wu laughed first!
464
01:29:53,855 --> 01:29:57,018
Uncle wu lost-
465
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:01,661
you lost
466
01:30:37,131 --> 01:30:39,599
Your hands are so cold-
467
01:30:40,301 --> 01:30:42,599
Is it cold outside?
468
01:30:51,012 --> 01:30:53,105
Still snowing?
469
01:31:00,054 --> 01:31:02,079
Your baby-
470
01:31:14,635 --> 01:31:17,035
what are you doing?
471
01:31:29,584 --> 01:31:31,745
Mr wu is here-
472
01:31:42,330 --> 01:31:43,661
Please Come in-
473
01:31:44,966 --> 01:31:46,433
Mr wu
474
01:31:52,039 --> 01:31:55,167
Congratulations on your baby boy-
475
01:31:55,376 --> 01:31:57,401
Thank you-
476
01:31:59,113 --> 01:32:02,082
A gift from all of us-
477
01:32:02,917 --> 01:32:05,909
we all wish your baby a healthy growth
478
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,987
Thank you all-
479
01:32:12,627 --> 01:32:16,119
Let's start the game
480
01:32:40,721 --> 01:32:42,313
Mr wu
481
01:32:42,790 --> 01:32:45,725
I look forward to this match-
482
01:32:45,927 --> 01:32:49,090
In 1955, the final Ten-Game
Challenge Championship
483
01:32:49,297 --> 01:32:51,322
were held between wu Qingyuan and
Takagawa Kaku-
484
01:32:51,532 --> 01:32:53,466
It's time to start
485
01:32:55,436 --> 01:32:58,496
...- I had dominated the Go world
ever since my first tournament,
486
01:32:58,706 --> 01:33:01,470
and defeated all my challengers-
487
01:33:01,676 --> 01:33:04,270
As a result, the Championship
488
01:33:04,478 --> 01:33:07,845
which had lasted for 17 years
came to an end-
489
01:33:25,466 --> 01:33:27,696
Please stop here-
490
01:34:26,193 --> 01:34:27,524
Mr wu
491
01:34:28,029 --> 01:34:30,122
Master-
492
01:34:37,405 --> 01:34:38,565
Come in-
493
01:34:39,507 --> 01:34:42,101
Master, please sit down-
494
01:34:48,282 --> 01:34:50,773
How is he?
495
01:34:51,752 --> 01:34:56,189
He's been like this the past several days-
496
01:34:59,093 --> 01:35:00,788
Mr wu
497
01:35:03,297 --> 01:35:05,788
Mr wu
498
01:35:26,187 --> 01:35:30,749
I heard Hayashi's been
performing wonderfully-
499
01:35:32,226 --> 01:35:35,787
And Otake's doing well, too-
500
01:35:36,297 --> 01:35:39,232
He used to be such a crybaby-
501
01:35:42,069 --> 01:35:45,561
He doesn't have to cry anymore-
502
01:35:49,410 --> 01:35:52,641
So many young players now-
503
01:35:55,216 --> 01:35:57,844
That's good-
504
01:37:38,252 --> 01:37:39,947
Kazuko!
505
01:37:43,023 --> 01:37:45,457
Kazuko!
506
01:37:52,366 --> 01:37:54,596
What's wrong?
507
01:38:17,992 --> 01:38:22,088
Go in my place-
508
01:38:25,032 --> 01:38:27,432
Tomorrow,
509
01:38:27,635 --> 01:38:33,039
take my place in the match-
510
01:38:38,312 --> 01:38:40,371
I will-
511
01:38:40,681 --> 01:38:43,514
I'll go prepare-
512
01:38:49,189 --> 01:38:50,952
Hurry!
513
01:39:38,806 --> 01:39:42,970
In 1961, wu Qingyuan was injured
in a motorcycle accident-
514
01:39:44,945 --> 01:39:47,778
It seemed the God of
competition abandoned me-
515
01:39:47,982 --> 01:39:50,576
I suddenly felt estranged
516
01:39:50,784 --> 01:39:53,878
from the stones and Go board-
517
01:40:11,972 --> 01:40:14,463
You're looking well-
518
01:40:14,775 --> 01:40:18,438
Yes, I'm feeling well-
519
01:40:21,281 --> 01:40:26,480
I'm considering playing in a match-
520
01:40:27,888 --> 01:40:29,685
Mr wu
521
01:40:30,290 --> 01:40:33,088
won't you join me?
522
01:40:43,804 --> 01:40:49,401
Isn't it boring, living without Go?
523
01:41:09,229 --> 01:41:11,720
Start with the light televised matches
524
01:41:11,932 --> 01:41:14,366
and ease back into the game-
525
01:41:14,568 --> 01:41:16,934
what do you think?
526
01:41:34,321 --> 01:41:37,552
I've considered it... -
527
01:41:37,758 --> 01:41:41,524
But at this age... -
528
01:41:41,728 --> 01:41:46,597
So you've been considering it after all-
529
01:42:13,227 --> 01:42:18,290
In 1972, Segoe Kensaku committed suicide-
530
01:42:20,868 --> 01:42:23,564
...- He wrote in his will that it was
531
01:42:23,770 --> 01:42:26,796
because he couldn't play anymore-
532
01:42:27,007 --> 01:42:31,171
In 1975, Kitani Minoru also died-
533
01:42:31,378 --> 01:42:36,315
In that period, one by one, those who had
bestowed great kindness on me
534
01:42:36,517 --> 01:42:40,476
all passed away,
like stars falling from the sky-
535
01:42:51,398 --> 01:42:55,892
In 1984, the Japanese Go community
organized a grand ceremony
536
01:42:56,103 --> 01:43:00,130
at the Okura Hotel,
to mark wu Qingyuan's retirement-
537
01:43:02,543 --> 01:43:05,535
Competition and faith are
my life-long vocations-
538
01:43:05,746 --> 01:43:08,237
Like water and fire, I depend on both-
539
01:43:08,448 --> 01:43:10,973
when I couldn't outrank the others,
540
01:43:11,185 --> 01:43:14,382
it was time for me to leave-
541
01:44:06,006 --> 01:44:13,071
There are two things in my life,
truth and Go-
542
01:44:18,018 --> 01:44:25,584
This film is dedicated to
Master wu Qingyuan and his wife-
There exist several softwares to download from YouTube for all operating systems, I use PullTube for macOS.

No-one answered, but I see from the
that it is indeed about Wu / Go Seigen.
