Although legal, your position is preposterous. White would have had to drop
all of his pawns on his opponent's second rank from which they could not move
forward, or else deliberately fail to promote his pawns.

The shogi rules are not precise, even in dealing with fairly common
siutations. I doubt if there is any shogi rule or any need for one in the
rediculous position here suggested.
