 This is our specialty Satsuma wood. Among Satsuma, figured pieces are a little stiffer. They are best for playing, appreciation, and enjoying the sound of the pieces. The popular Minase calligraphy stands out for its wood quality.

[By Gakuho, Ryoko]

[岳峰作・菱湖書]

 Price : 140,000 JPY

 We recommend Satsuma wood, which is our specialty, because of its hardness and tenacity. It has the advantages of each region and is durable, making it ideal for playing pieces. Gakuho is a master carver with a reputation for sharp carving.


Mikura Tsuge root tiger striped Heaped pieces
[By Kumazawa Ryoson, Maki-Ryoko]

[熊澤良尊作・巻菱湖写]

 Price : 700,000 JPY

 Product ID:K419

 When we order pieces from Ryoson, we are very careful about the wood, and we ask him to use the finest wood from which only a few pieces can be obtained each year. I used to think that Ryoson's popular typefaces were his original typefaces such as Kominase and Utsusemi, but the other day, a customer requested Ryoson's Maki-ryoko for a piece to be used in a title game. This typeface was very well received and the customer gave us a high praise, so we asked for the same typeface this time as well. This is a high quality piece with a slightly bold finish.


Satsuma Tsuge root figured Heaped pieces
[By Fugetsu, Genbe-Kiyoyasu]

[富月作・源兵衛清安]

 Price : 550,000 JPY

 Product ID:A293

 Genbe-Kiyoyasu is said to be the most suitable for Shogi pieces, but recently it has become as popular as the three most popular typefaces. Fugetsu's technique has also been perfected, using a special wood base with a reddish color. The reddish part of the root was selected for this gorgeous piece.


Mikura Tsuge tiger striped Carved pieces
[By Kunizo, Minase, 3 Kings]

[國蔵作・水無瀬・王3枚]

 Price : 290,000 JPY

 Product ID:A292

 This is a bold Minase modeled after Eisui. Each of Kunizo's four major typefaces requires a great deal of work. We must make every effort to make the work as attractive as possible by discussing it with the artist each time. The elegant tiger striped wood is the best finishing touch.
