Mikura Tsuge straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Chikufu, Kinki]

[竹風作・錦旗書]

　Price : 200,000 JPY

　Product ID：A320

　This is a work by the renowned first-generation Chikufu, Ōtake Harugorō, the last inheritor of the Tokyo Shogi pieces tradition. The calligraphy style is Kinki, a type of imperial brushwork. It features a unique brushstroke with a distinct flavor, different from his son's work. This is a beautiful piece with almost no loss of lacquer and no visible signs of use. It is a small, thin piece in an old-fashioned style. There is a small knot on one corner of Bishop (角行), likely one that couldn't be completely removed.

Mikura Tsuge straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Ippei, Minase]

[一平作・水無瀬書]

　Price : 200,000 JPY

　Product ID：A307

　This is a work that was given to me decades ago from Ippei in Tendo. Kyutoku was the one who enlivened the lacquer, and I liked this piece because of the wonderful brush stroke of Minase. The wood is an attractive old wood and candy-colored. This is a new, unused piece that has been stored in our shop. It is an old piece, so each peace is slightly smaller.

Mikura Tsuge root figured Heaped pieces
[By Fugetsu, Kinki]

[富月作・錦旗]

　Price : 650,000 JPY

　Product ID：A289

　Two new sets of heaped pieces by Fugetsu. They are Kinki and lower Ryoko, just finished in July, and are the most exclusive pieces you can find. Both pieces are made of Mikura tsuge, a rare wood from which only a few pieces can be obtained from a single tree. The dark-colored root wood with powerful bold Kinki. The brush storoke and finishing are all to the owner's liking, and the easy-to-use chamfering is also a first-rate job that takes a lot of time and effort.
