Each piece is meticulously hand-carved from wood and individually hand-painted with calligraphy, displaying both black and red ink to denote promoted pieces. The set includes a complete array of shogi pieces, each shaped in the classic pentagonal style, tapering at the top to distinguish orientation during play.

This handcrafted set is not only a functional game but also a beautiful collector’s item, showcasing Japanese craftsmanship, culture, and history. Perfect for display, gifting, or play for enthusiasts of classic strategy games.
