Subject: Correction on my last mail

Dear shogi fans,

This is correction on my last mail titled "Idea on pieces for beginners".

>Toshiaki Tanigawa told me that similar pieces were once made by Mr. Nakato
>in Sengoku (town of shogi where people in US military live near and some of
>them may start shogi).  I think the marks may be permanent, not erasable.

The name of the town is "Momoishi", Sengoku is my mistake.  I am ashamed
that I have misread the name of the famous shogi-town.  By the way, in
Momoishi there is a statu of Oyama 15th eternal Meijin stands (actually he
is sitting in front of a shogi board).    <-- Is this correct?

>Mr. Sanada (pro 6-dan?) has an idea to put stickers on the pieces.

Mr. Sanada is the representative of "Shogi wo sekaini hiromeru kai", a
society for introducing shogi to the world.  He is not pro. Mr. Keiihi
Sanada.

Regards,
Hiroki
