“The hand is the instrument of intelligence.
The child needs to manipulate objects and
to gain experience by touching and handling.”

— Maria Montessori

Learning a board game without a physical board and pieces is impractical. Adults need this tactile experience just as much as children do.

Unfortunately, locating Tori Shogi sets for playing on is a challenge. Amazon carries just a few Shogi sets, but not Tori Shogi. Some Tori Shogi sets can be found at Kanare Abstract, and occasionally on eBay, and that’s all we’re aware of.

But now — there are two styles of traditional 5-sided Tori Shogi pieces readily available. These hand-crafted sets display the conventional Kanji characters, in red on the promoted sides.

Matte Board — Sturdy pieces for regular play and game study.

SLA Resin — These unbreakable pieces provide a clear “snap” when played on wooden boards.

The accompanying Tori Shogi boards are printed in high-resolution on 65 lb. cardstock for durability.
