CHU WA is the transliteration in Japanese of this calligraphy kindly donated by Go Seigen to the IGF during the 28th WAGC. It can be translated as "Centre Harmony". As he explained, Go is not a fight but harmony between White and Black. In being neither right nor left, neither top nor bottom, harmony is maintained and is peace and the essence of Go.
Go Seigen wants to give it to everyone in the world.
