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.

Mikura Tsuge straight grained Heaped pieces
[By Ippei, Minase]

[一平作・水無瀬書]

　Price : 200,000 JPY

　Product ID：A307

　This is a work that was given to me decades ago from Ippei in Tendo. Kyutoku was the one who enlivened the lacquer, and I liked this piece because of the wonderful brush stroke of Minase. The wood is an attractive old wood and candy-colored. This is a new, unused piece that has been stored in our shop. It is an old piece, so each peace is slightly smaller.

Mikura Tsuge tiger striped Heaped pieces
[By Tosui, Genbe-Kiyoyasu, 3 Kings]

[淘水作・源兵衛清安書・王3枚]

　Price : 500,000 JPY

　Product ID：A306

　Elegant white tiger striped wood. There is glitter pattern on entire wood. Tosui's work is also impeccable, and use of lacquer is excellent, and elegance is outstanding in how to heap lacquer. The more you use it, the darker amber color and the clearer pattern.

Satsuma Tsuge peacock figured Heaped pieces
[By Tosui, Minase, 3 Kings]

[淘水作・水無瀬・3王]

　Price : 650,000 JPY

　Product ID：A317

　This is a powerful, dark-colored piece made of top-quality Satsuma wood. Tosui's works are not easily produced due to their popularity. When we asked his father about Tosui's works, he told us that Minase was very popular. I think it is his father's calligraphy and it is a completed Minase that has been studied thoroughly. The wood and workmanship of this piece are superb.

Satsuma Tsuge lightning figured Heaped pieces
[By Tosui, Kinki, 3 Kings]

[淘水作・錦旗・王3枚]

　Price : 650,000 JPY

　Product ID：A309

　This is Shinpitsu style Kinki. Compared to other styles, this typeface is slightly bolder and has been well received, and is the most popular among Tosui's styles. The use of lacquer is smooth and fluid. I am particularly fond of this Kinki and Minase, which have an orthodox finish. They are graceful yet powerful pieces.
　We were very careful about the wood, and used one set of the finest from the more than 2,000 pieces of Satsuma wood we purchased last year.
