Tokyo 2020 Olympics Mascot Shogi Set
Tokyo Summer Olympic Games Japanese chess
The success of The Queen's Gambit not only made chess cool but also stirred interest in other strategy games, including Japanese shogi, a variant of chess going back about 10 centuries. If you are among those interested to see how the Japanese have interpreted strategy on a board, this Tokyo 2020 Olympics Mascot Shogi Set allows you to do it and also show your support for the second edition of the Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo (though not in 2020 as originally planned)
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics Mascot Shogi Set solves the problem of having to carry around a large board by printing the board on the cotton bag in which you keep the pieces. Just lay it on a flat surface, choose sides (the pieces have one of two images of Miraitowa, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics mascot), and start playing. And if you don't know the rules, the set comes with instructions in English!
