Luxury Shogi pieces, Shogi boards and other equipment

　Carving is the starting point of making pieces, and if the carving is not done well, neither the Filled nor the Heaped pieces will be good. One of the most popular features of carving is that the carving marks, or the skill of the artist, can be clearly seen. In our shop, we have a wide range of works by master carvers such as Hachisuka and Seiho, as well as works by up-and-coming young piece makers who are recognized by the owner, in order to meet any needs of our customers.

　The price does not include shipping fee. All of our luxury Shogi pieces come with a paulownia flat box, a pieces box, and a Tatsumura silk pieces bag as accessories.

[深玄作・巻菱湖書・3王]

　Price : 290,000 JPY

　Shingen is an up-and-coming young artisan. I was so taken with his work that we were finally able to commission a set from him. While he himself says he drew inspiration from Mr. Hachisuka, his style goes beyond mere imitation. His flowing, beautiful brushwork harmonizes with boldly applied bevels, creating a distinctive character that leaves a lasting impression at first glance.
　This elegant piece combines delicacy with splendor. It is a special work that breathes with the unique sensibility of Shingen.

　Hachisuka’s pieces, which have been extremely well-received, have finally been completed after a long hiatus. Among Eisui styles in which he specializes, Maki-Ryoko —noted for its exceptional strength and dignity—enjoys particularly high popularity. His brushwork possesses a power that seems to harmonize stillness and movement, lending the board a truly distinctive presence.
　For this work, we have lavishly used the finest peacock wood. It is truly an exceptional masterpiece, possessing the highest level of dignity and beauty that carved shogi pieces can achieve.
