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.

Satsuma Tsuge peacock figured Carved pieces
[By Seiho, Ryoko]

[清峰作・菱湖書]

　Price : 170,000 JPY

　Product ID：A319

　Seiho makes any typeface well with his sharp engraving, but it has some quirks that make it unique and playful, and it sells well. This time it is Ryoko, a popular typeface. It is made of hard satsuma wood and is ideal for those who buy it as a playing piece. We are sure that you will like it if you hold it in your hand and look at it.

Mikura Tsuge red straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Shozan, Kinki, 3 Kings]

[祥山作・錦旗・3王]

　Price : 380,000 JPY

　Product ID：S695

　Shozan's work is known for its time-consuming and careful work. I am looking at it carefully with a magnifying glass, and the use of lacquer is smooth and elegant. The typeface is a gentle and easy-to-read Kinki. The wood is an attractive and elegant red grain, a top quality wood for professional use. The wood's withered taste, fine grain, brightness, and color are all excellent, and the heaping up is the work of a master craftsman.

Mikura Tsuge root tiger striped Carved pieces
[By Kunizo, Minase, 3 Kings]

[國蔵作・水無瀬・3王]

　Price : 290,000 JPY

　Product ID：A312

　The owner likes Eisui's bold typeface. We have been asking artists to make it a little thicker, but they has not given us a good answer, saying that it would take more time and effort than a fine one. This time, the owner's favorite piece was completed by Kunizo's Minase calligraphy. The typeface is copied from Eisui's Minase, and everything is done in Eisui's style. It seems that a lot of effort was put into this piece, but I like it very much. The piece is made of dark-colored wood with a strong wood grain, making it a very powerful piece.
