What is the reason for the decline of Go in Japan in recent years?

Mainly because people's enthusiasm is not enough. In the 1990s, Japanese people paid attention to Go only to the elderly, while there were many young people in China. Japan's three major newspapers also support Weiqi, with considerable sponsorship fees every year. But now in Japan, almost no one buys newspapers to pay attention to Go. Japanese Go also lacks communication. There are seven major chess games in Japan, and the prize money even exceeds most of the world champions, so Japanese players are not short of money. Some people also ridiculed that Japan's chess game has surpassed the outcome and is bearish. In fact, the level of Japanese players is really not high. In recent years, Japanese players have failed to enter the quarter-finals and the quarter-finals, and their winning percentage against Chinese and Korean players is also quite low. In short, Japan lost itself in narcissism and failed to conform to the current trend of Go. Destined to be a supporting role.
