Komashi (Shogi piece craftsman) 'Fugetsu' is a craftsman who has studied under Modern Master Craftsman Ito Kyutoku from Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, and is regarded as one of the top 5 modern masters.
With the delicate and flowing 'Fugetsu work - Kinki script' inscription on the bottom of the Osho (King piece) and the fluffy and elegant embossing, you can see the true craftsmanship from these splendid pieces.
Pieces by Fugetsu are even used in Title Matches and Grand Champion Matches among others.
'Mori-age-koma' is a piece made by filling the engraved characters with lacquer, and after drying and polishing the surface flat, finishing by using a brush to add more lacquer on top of the engraved lacquer parts to give slightly raised characters.
Ranked equally with the finest quality wood grain of 'Mikurajima-hon-tsuge', 'Satsuma-hon-tsuge', with its hard and tenacious wood, is also referred to as 'Practicality is Satsuma-hon-tsuge'.
'Inazuma-moku' is a beautiful pattern of the wood grain spreading out from the top towards the bottom part of the Shogi pieces like 'lightning', giving it its strong point.
Since Inazuma-moku only appears at the part of the tree where it branches out, only enough wood for a few pieces can be taken from one tree.
Therefore, in order to complete a set of Inazuma-moku pieces, multiple boxwood materials with similar wood coloring are required.
*Please check the images.
"Kinki-sho calligraphy" is very popular with its long history and dynamic writing.
There is a famous saying among Shogi players, "playing Shogi cannot start without Kinki and cannot end up without Kinki".
