Shogi - Japanese Chess
Shogi is the Japanese version of Chess and some believe the most complex of all traditional Chess variants. The fundamental difference is that when pieces are captured they can be re-entered onto the board playing for the opposing side. This brings Japanese Chess a great advantage over other forms of chess in that draws are a mercifully rare event.

- Each piece measures: 12 x 12 x 3.5cm
A pair of solid wooden Komadai which are used to hold captured Shogi pieces. The Komadai - or Shogi piece stands - are placed on either side of the board.
During play, it is common to keep captured pieces on a wooden stand (komadai) which is traditionally placed so that its bottom left corner aligns with the bottom right corner of the board from the perspective of each player. It is not permissible to hide pieces from full view.
Whilst not an essential accessory, Komadai certainly add to the authenticity and overall aesthetic of the game. This pair of Komadi stands are nice and thick at 3.5cm and beautiful, too.
Approx. Dimensions:
12 x 12 x 3.5cm
