Source-derived summary

As part of the effort to spread the game of Go throughout the world, several Go centers were founded in the United States, Europe and South America. A large part of the required funds was contributed by the Iwamoto Foundation. This foundation was founded by Iwamoto Kaoru (1902–1999), donating 530 million yen from his own means.

Recently a Korean project established a Go Centre in Budapest, Hungary.

Editorial summary

“Go centers” enters the record as venue to play the game of Go. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what centers, venue and play can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1902, 1999—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around centers, venue and play.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Go centers” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, centers, venue and play provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5574980. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1902 and 1999.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
