The board features a classic playing surface with a fine grid and rests on four strikingly shaped wooden legs. These rounded, turned legs give the piece a particularly sculptural and decorative presence. The solid wooden form, softly rounded corners and visible grain give the object a warm, refined and characterful appearance.

The shogi board can still be used for playing, but today it also works beautifully as a small decorative display table for ceramics, bonsai, ikebana, a plant, books or small art objects.

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

A refined Japanese everyday object with great presence, perfect as a decorative accent in a Japanese, wabi-sabi, vintage, minimalist or eclectic interior. See less
