The Game of GO, the National Game of Japan[edit]

"The Game of GO, the National Game of Japan" was first published in New York, April 1908, by "Arthur Smith". The Publisher's (Moffat, Yard & Company) Note (1956) mentions that the author "was one of the first Westerners ever to make a scientific study of Japan's ancient game of Go and that his classic work on the subject has never been surpassed for completeness, lucidity , and all-round excellence." Is this "Arthur Smith" the author, the same person as "Arthur Henderson Smith"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.215.160.100 (talk) 07:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it. Arthur Henderson Smith spent his career in China, not Japan. Smallchief 16:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
