Yoshimura Shogi Japan

Shogi in English, also known as Japanese chess, is a two-player board game in the same family as Western chess, chaturanga, Chinese Xiangqi, and is the most popular of a family of chess variants native to Japan. Shogi means general's (sho) boardgame (gi). In early years, however, shogi was written (the same as Xiangqi, 'elephant chess').
