Carved Pieces 1/3

 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.
