How to play Shogi(将棋) -Lesson#39- Shogi Pieces as Arts and Crafts

[@CSGraves]

I noticed the sort of 'hinged' knife the artisan uses from 7:28 is very similar to what in the west might be called a _paroir_ knife, used by cobblers.

[@quetzal1627]

Is there a place to download one of these beautiful kanji (fonts?). I especially liked mine 峰, really very beautiful

[@HIDETCHI]

I seems something is wrong with youtube... It worked correctly when I uploaded it.

[@simonguoxm]

I really like your introduction. Thanks a lot.

[@hanzimaster]

i can tell, from 2:20, that the one-character pieces you were using in the lessons are based on "high grade". 上彫

[@arthurli406]

hello, i would like to know what is the exact name, source, and origin of the 'common grade' shogi pieces shown at 2:20. i think its something akin to 'nami hori', although these are the MoST interesting shogi fonts i have ever seen, so i am interested.

[@illogical1421]

Ryuoko is the best, Sousho is also beautiful.

[@HIDETCHI]

Yes!

[@HIDETCHI]

Yes, I think it's possible. You want to inscribe them on your own?

[@hudsonmoraes1261]

Onde encontro peças com a madeira mais nobre e a forma de inscrição de mais alta qualidade, porém com estampas ocidentais? E por estampas ocidentais estou querendo dizer pictogramas. E não as iniciais em inglês.

[@EdwardNavu]

I have a question: Can we erase the words from "Written Pieces" by sand paper, and then inscribe it again to have our own inscribed pieces?

[@jklaxon]

where is the link artesan video ?

[@VolkerWob]

Where can I find These Website shown at 7:09? www.geocities.jp/komakennet/page195.html is nice but not shown how to make pieces. Or is it in the viedo you can buy there?

[@santaisclose5713]

really , i mean really interesting

[@HIDETCHI]

Yes, it's Kinryuu.

[@EdwardNavu]

In the animation from 7:37 to 7:58, did the craftsman used Kinryu Style?

[@mcatuara1]

Sure looked like it

[@dwalters98]

I made my own set about 6 months ago using cyprus as the material, but my painting skills were seriously lacking as far as caligraphy goes, I'd probably get better results with trying engraving, but I have no clue where to get a good knife to carve it XD

[@klieu90210]

Kiridashi make for great fine carving knives. Pretty cheap off Amazon.

[@dwalters98]

@@klieu90210 Thank you, I kept looking around for similar carving knives to what they use but nothing came up til now, will definitely get one in the future :)

[@domsau2]

1:23 sous titres fr : "distingué" => "distinguer", svp.

[@klieu90210]

峰 is my favorite from the styles this video

[@mcatuara1]

I have the Kinki, Minase, Ryoko, Genbee, Kinryu, 1 and 2 character pieces

[@quykim8339]

can u give me 1?

[@HIDETCHI]

Oh, if you say so, it looks like '灰' indeed...

[@abulac]

good video again, but your comments are delayed with about 5 sec, anyway i am glad you made videos about the boards and the sets, i go and check that do it yourself koma page:)

[@quykim8339]

what is the link of that website? Can you let me know?

[@hanzimaster]

You mean 極上？

[@EdwardNavu]

I laughed at the so-called "Common Grade" Pieces, and I even read "Silver General" as "Ash General" or "Grey General"! I would rather to inscribe the pieces ON MY OWN even I have no experience in pieces crafting.

[@EdwardNavu]

Only if I have a set of these pieces. *sigh*

[@monekamishiraishi1698]

hidetchi is a kukubird

[@HIDETCHI]

No, I think it's 特上. 上彫 uses perfect kanji but no unique writing style.

[@Mephisto28890]

I'd buy all the cheap written pieces and sell them off as expensive raised pieces if noone can tell the difference in the end. Way to make money. :D

[@3TOlym19]

There is clearly a difference. Written pieces only have a very thin layer of ink, while in raised pieces the extra layer of ink has a much more amount that the raised-ness(?) can be easily seen. It even reflects lights. You can really tell moriage-goma (raised pieces) right away just by looking at them.
