NIce review. There's one Kitani move that I sometimes play for fun in my games. When You have komoku and you are high approached, you can play a bump at the star point to prevent the avalance joseki ^^

Very nice but let me make a minor rectification: Yasunari Kawabata got the Nobel Prize not for "The Master of Go" but for some other novels (namely "Snow Country", "Thousand Cranes", "The Old Capital").
