First Generation Takekaze Otake, Gold Dragon Script, Moriage Shogi Pieces, with one extra pawn.
This is a work by the first generation Takefu Otake, a master of Tokyo Shogi pieces, alongside Eisu and Seizan.The Kinryu-sho script was favored by Ryuzan Toyoshima, the founder of present-day Shogi pieces. However, Takefu Otake's Kinryu-sho has an original touch, with the ι (kin - gold) character in the inscription being a cursive form.While Takefu Otake is famous for his Shoryu-sho script, Kinryu-sho pieces are suddenly quite rare. I believe this piece was created by the first generation Takefu Otake during a period of experimentation before he developed his signature Shoryu-sho script.As it is an antique, there are scratches, stains, and wear on the lacquer, but the fact that there are no chips is a testament to Takefu Otake's skill.There is one fu (pawn) piece.The wooden flat box shown in the image will be included.
