The board has a compact rectangular form and rests on four short, faceted wooden legs. The legs are sturdy and sculptural, giving the piece a decorative character from every angle, including the side and underside.

The playing surface remains clearly visible and the board can still be used for playing shogi. Today, it also works beautifully as a small low display table for ceramics, bonsai, ikebana, a plant, books or small art objects.

In beautiful vintage condition, with normal signs of use and age consistent with its age and original function.

A characterful Japanese everyday object, ideal as a refined decorative accent in a Japanese, wabi-sabi, vintage, minimalist or eclectic interior. See less
