A go apprentice insei is a student learning to play Go at an institution, typically with the aim of becoming a professional player. In Japan, such a student is called an insei. Institutions for insei include the Nihon Ki-in and the Kansai Ki-in. The equivalent of Go insei in Korea is "Yeon gu saeng", read "Ken kyū sei" in Japanese and "Yán jiū shēng" in Chinese.
The Nihon Ki-in (日本棋院), also known as the Japan Go Association, is the main organizational body for Go in Japan, overseeing Japan's professional system and issuing diplomas for amateur dan rankings. It is based in Tokyo. The other major Go association in Japan is Kansai Ki-in. Its innovations include the Oteai system of promotion, time limits in professional games, and the introduction of issuing diplomas to strong amateur players, to affirm their ranks.
Meijin (名人) means "Brilliant Man". It is the name of the second most prestigious Japanese Go Tournament. It also refers to a traditional Japanese title given to the strongest player of the day during the Edo period.
The Oteai was a tournament used in Japan, by the Nihon Ki-in and Kansai Ki-in, to determine the ranking of its go professionals on the dan scale. It was instituted in the 1920s soon after the Ki-in was set up in 1924. Initially it was run in Spring and Autumn sessions in Tokyo, with the pros brought together to play around eight games in each session. It has currently ceased to exist after it was replaced by new reforms. Professionals in the Nihon Ki-in could claim promotions based on their performance in the Oteai. To qualify for a promotion, players had to win a certain percentage of a certain number of successive games. The proportion, and number of games depended on the player's current rank, with qualification obviously becoming more stringent as one progressed.
