Customer Review: mediocre shogi set
This is an OK shogi set, but nothing spectacular. The board is quite nice, though mine has a couple of small dents in it, and the wood is a bit darker than I would like. The pieces are not that great; several of them have the wood grain changing from light to dark in the middle of the piece, which is very off-putting. Also, the calligraphy is quite uneven — most pieces are fine, but on some pieces the writing is too thick while on others it’s too thin. Most importantly, the board is very small and would not be pleasant for actually playing a game. It’s fine for playing over recorded games, which is what I’m going to use it for.

Customer Review: Thanks Starlady!
“The new version however is violent and sleezy. The pieces graphically beat each other up and the queen struts like a hooker across the board. At one point when the red king challenged the blue queen, they grabbed each other in a passionate kiss, and she pulled a knife on him. He promptly swore and killed her.”
