Master Shogi is a shogi training set ideal for beginners who want to learn shogi quickly and easily, and for training classes that teach how to play shogi. The set contains a folding game board, shogi pieces, stickers and two pamphlets with rules and illustrations to show you how the pieces move.  The pieces come with arrows on them to show how each particular piece can move.Once you have learned how the Shogi pieces move you can convert the pieces to regular style koma (the Japanese word for "shogi pieces") by sticking the adhesive shogi koma stickers over the diagrams on the pieces. The squares on the shogi board are marked to show you where to put the pieces when setting up the game.  The two pamphlets are clearly illustrated. One is an explanation of how to play shogi, with diagrams showing how each piece moves. The other is a "manga style" pamphlet going over the same material to help you learn shogi in a popular comic strip style.Of course, both pamphlets are in Japanese, but if you can read hiragana you will be able to work with the rules as the kanji have "furigana". Even if you can't read Japanese, the diagrams show you clearly how the pieces move. Click the button to purchase from this site via Paypal:  |
 This is a wooden shogi training set, manufactured by Kumon. Kumon is a famous private education company in Japan, famous for their range of high quality study products made of wood.  As you can see, the movement style of the shogi pieces are clearly marked with red arrows. The name of the piece is printed in hiragana beneath the kanji character.  The shogi training set is nicely packed in a wooden box, with an inner wooden box to store the pieces. The wooden box and lid also serve as "koma dai" - trays on which to place captured pieces. When laid out flat, the shogi board measures 357mm × 336mm × 32mm. The shogi pieces measure 31mm × 28mm × 7mm |
