This set of hand-carved shogi pieces is a work of Japanese craftsmanship Shūraku , renowned for its long-standing commitment to the transmission of shogi and the manufacture of pieces intended for use, not merely display .

Made from Mikurajima boxwood , an extremely rare wood renowned as the most prestigious for shogi pieces, these pieces feature a natural blend of straight and wavy grain . The subtle variations in color attest to the authenticity of the material and make each piece unique.

The finish is a Seto polish , offering a soft and elegant shine , pleasant to the touch and visually refined. The Kinryū engraving style is distinguished by its balance between line strength and legibility, making it suitable for both everyday play and high-end collecting.
