Do you know shogi which is a Japanese chess-like board game for two players?
If you can capture the other player’s king piece, you win. The rules are simple but there are tons of moves in shougi.
If you a great shougi player, you can become a professorial like Habu who was called genius.
When I was a child, I often played it with my friends. Recently it’s said that people don’t play it as much as before.Perhaps children tend to play video games.
However, my wife bought this shogi set for my daughters last year. It’s not a standard one, but one made for beginners.
Each piece shows how it moves so beginners can easily learn how to play..
Shogi must help improve the ability to think logically.
I wish that my daughters would win against me someday.
う～ん なかなか面白そうですね！ 丁寧に駒にルールが描いてあるのが画期的。 ゲーム好きなお嬢さんが夢中になりそうですね。 皆さんでできればいいですね！ (o^-’)b
そうですね。私が子どもの頃はこういうのなかったような気がします。うちの子供は負けず嫌いなので、力加減が難しいです。
This game looks very interesting and fun! I like how the pieces show the moves in the beginners game, I would definitely need those!
Thanks. It’s fun to exercise wisdom. I’m glad that you like it.
With practise, your daughter can be very good at it. Have fun playing together!
Thank you. I enjoy this with my family and hope my children improve their creativity.
Much better for your children than video games. Well done.
I think so. Thank you so much.
I heard before but to be honest I haven’t any idea about this Shogi… Your photographs are so lovely and made me to play
to learn… of course. Should be great fun. Thank you so much. Have a nice and enjoyable weekend, with my love, nia
Thank you very much. I hope you will enjoy it someday. Have a great weekend, too.
子ども向きに将棋もあるんですか。＾＾
私は子どものとき、よく囲碁をしましたが、
今はちょっと…
もう下手になりました。＞＜
そうなんです。
実は、私は囲碁をやったことがないです。おもしろそうなので、今度、子どもと挑戦してみようと思います。オセロはやってます。
This looks like such a great game! I would LOVE to find this game for my daughter. I’m going to look online to see if I can purchase it. FUN!! Thank you for posting these delightful photos.
Thanks. I guess that you’ll find this game but if you can’t find it, I’ll check it.
I found it! Yay! You were so kind, though to offer to check for me. I actually, believe it or not even found a ドラえもん version. 可愛い !
That’s good. ドラえもん version is so nice.
Interesting!
Thank you!
It looks like a wonderful game and something which teaches as well as provides fun.
Yes, thank you so much. It’s fun.
Looks like an intersting game. Unfortunately board games are no longer played tooo often by children. Instead they are now sitting in front of the tv or the computer.
Thanks. What you said is also same in our country.
I like board games. They are lots of fun and you can enjoy being together with other people.
Indeed. Many thanks.
Wonderful to learn about shogi–and that there is a beginner’s set for children! My son can beat the pants off me at chess! My 4.5 year old granddaughter beats the pants off her very smart, brainy mother at that online math game, Angry Birds!
Your children are so clever I know Angry Birds but I have never tried it. It sounds interesting.
I know that the girl in one of my Japanese school classes has some achievements during shogi tournaments, she’s really a pro. I’m sure this game improves brain capabilities and logical thinking.
Your classmate is genius. I seldom win the game against other people. ;(
It was always a game I wanted to learn while in Japan but never got around to it. Would still love to learn it and looks like a lot of fun to play with the family
Recently a few people play shogi
I hope that shogi will remain and you’ll play it.
Interesting! Sounds like a good game to keep our minds sharp and have some fun at the same time.
I think so. Our brain will improve. Thanks.
It was very interesting to learn about this game especially as I had never heard of it before this morning.
Thanks. It’s an interesting game to exercise wisdom.
Great entry my friend
Thank you.
I’ve never played shogi or chess, but I’ve always thought I should at least try!
Do you also play 囲碁?
Just do it.
I have never tried 囲碁 What a shame.
Lovely story.
Thanks much. Have a great weekend.
I’m usually not very good at games (it seems like I loose a lot more than I win), but it still sounds like a lot of fun!
I see. It’s great that you enjoy games even if you don’t win. Your partner must be happy.
Ah, so you beat them all the time at this game? I hope they win too!
My daughters still practice to play this game. I don’t want to win every time.
