Okan (Go competition)
The Okan (王冠, literally "crown" or "king's crown") is a Go competition conducted by the Japanese Nihon-Kiin. There is a single game played between the title holder and a challenger. Unlike other tournaments which are open to all players, only players in the Nagoya branch of the Nihon-Kiin can compete. The winner's purse is a small 1,700,000 Yen ($15,000).

gollark: They need it to not be too wild or people might look into it more.
gollark: I mean, they are very *large* sandstone triangles.
gollark: Do those exist? Can you *guarantee* such properties in a cave without heating or anything?
gollark: I don't like caves, they're generally small, cold and wet.
gollark: I don't really think "can make you wear masks in an emergency situation" is much of a problematic power though, really.
