FT433 - Antique Japanese Shogi Chess Piece Set 御將棋駒
A charming vintage set of traditional Japanese shogi (将棋) pieces, housed in its original kiri (paulownia) wooden storage box. The label on the box reads 御將棋駒 (Go-shōgi koma), a respectful term used for quality shogi pieces.
Crafted from resin, the pieces have a warm ivory-like tone that closely resembles traditional materials such as bone while offering durability and a smooth tactile feel. Each piece is carefully shaped in the classic pentagonal form and finished with bold, hand-brushed style kanji characters in black ink, giving the set a strong and elegant visual presence.
This is a complete set including all standard shogi pieces such as 王将 (King), 飛車 (Rook), 角行 (Bishop), and 歩兵 (Pawn). The calligraphy style is expressive yet balanced, reflecting the aesthetic tradition of Japanese board games.
The accompanying kiri wood box not only protects the pieces but also adds to the authenticity and collectible appeal. Kiri wood has long been valued in Japan for its lightweight nature and resistance to humidity.
