[[File:Minamotono yoshiie.png|thumb|[[Minamoto no Yoshiie]] by [[Tsukioka Yoshitoshi]], 1886. This popular woodblock print depicts the ancient legend of a husband who suspected his wife was having an affair with the samurai Minamoto no Yoshiie. To prevent his visits, the husband surrounded his house with brambles and placed a Go board on the balcony, hoping he would stumble over it. Instead, the samurai deftly cut the board as he leaped over the balcony railing, avoiding both obstacles.]]
Apart from technical literature and study material, Go and its strategies have been the subject of several works of fiction, such as ''[[The Master of Go]]'' by [[Nobel Prize in Literature]]-winning author [[Yasunari Kawabata]]{{efn|1=A list of books can be found at [http://senseis.xmp.net/?Literature Sensei's Library]}} and ''[[The Girl Who Played Go]]'' (2001) by Shan Sa. Other books have used Go as a [[Theme (literature)|theme]] or minor plot device. For example, the 1979 novel ''[[Shibumi (novel)|Shibumi]]'' by [[Trevanian]] centers around the game and uses Go metaphors.<ref name=GoLit>{{Citation | title = Go in Western Literature | chapter = Shibumi | last = McDonald | first = Brian | orig-year = 1995 | year = 2002 | chapter-url = http://www.usgo.org/resources/downloads/go_in_literature.pdf | publisher = American Go Association | pages = 5–6 | editor = Shotwell, Peter | access-date = 2008-06-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060921171349/http://www.usgo.org/resources/downloads/go_in_literature.pdf|archive-date=2006-09-21}}</ref>{{Sfn|Shotwell|2003|p=176}} Go features prominently in the ''[[Chung Kuo (novel series)|Chung Kuo]]'' series of novels by [[David Wingrove]], being the favourite game of the main villain.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britgo.org/general/novels |title=Novels and Other Books Featuring Go &#124; British Go Association |publisher=Britgo.org |date=2015-12-16 |access-date=2016-03-14}}</ref>

The [[manga]] series ''[[Hikaru no Go]]'' and its [[anime]] adaptation, first released in Japan in 1998 and 2001 respectively, had a large impact in popularizing Go among young players, both in Japan and—as translations were released—abroad.<ref>{{Citation|first=Yoko |last=Shimatsuka |title=Do Not Pass Go |url=http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/magazine/nations/0,8782,132162,00.html |publisher=Asiaweek |access-date=2007-03-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070610073841/http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/magazine/nations/0%2C8782%2C132162%2C00.html |archive-date=2007-06-10 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | first=Charles | last=Scanlon | title=Young Japanese go for Go | date=2002-08-01 | publisher=BBC | url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2164532.stm | work =World News | access-date = 2009-05-21}}</ref><!-- Please do not add material to this section unless you feel it is at least as significant as Hikaru no Go.
