Testimonials

I just wanted to let you know that we received the Hanafuda cards and have been using them extensively over the holidays. We bought them to replace a worn out set that my mother brought from Japan more than 30 years ago. These cards are beautiful and very good quality, and have been big hit in our family.

I would like to thank David for bearing with my PayPal problems and being overall very helpful and showing consideration and patience. I received my Genkai mahjong set two weeks after placing an order, a week after it was sent from Japan. The set was exactly as shown on the photos, top quality as promised, carefully packed, and everything was in place (even some spare scoring sticks). It was delivered by an EMS courier right to the door. David even took extra time to notify me about some minor changes in the set composition and have sent me additional photos, asking me to confirm my order.

I would recommend this shop to anybody who'd like to buy a japanese mahjong set or accessories, for it is fast,** reliable and you get exactly what you see on the website. David is a great seller, caring for his client's problems and trying to find solutions together. I am very impressed overall and can surely say this was my best international shopping experience, despite my problems with paying from Russia via PayPal.

David,

Hi David,

I would just like to let you know that the set I ordered here arrived in perfect condition. I'd have to say the set looks splendid. If I had the money I'd even buy the yakuman set if the take set is already this good. I am quite pleased that I ordered from your site.

Thank you for the great service!

Thanks,

Ryan

Japanese Chess: Shogi in a Box is Back!

January 14, 2011 | Author admin

I recently got hold of a new supply of the budget-priced Shogi game set that I call “Shogi in a Box“.

It’s been unavailable for a while so I’m glad to be able to add it to my listings again.

As you can see, the set looks quite nice when arranged on the board. The kanji on the pieces have been quite hurredly painted on and the board is unvarnished, but if you are looking for a budget-priced set, this is a good place to start.

Koma Dai!

One neat feature is the inclusion of two wooden boxes for storing the pieces. The boxes have lids and you can use them as “koma dai” (trays for the chesspieces) during a game. Remember, in Shogi, you can use any piece you capture from your opponent. When a piece is captured it is usually placed on a tray to right of the player’s side of the board. With “Shogi in a Box” you can use the storage boxes as trays for captured pieces.

Price Remains the Same

I’m also pleased to be able to keep the price the same as before in spite of the weakness of the US dollar. The set costs $18.50 plus $16.65 shipping and handling. The shogi game set is shipped from Japan by airmail.
