In Thomas's tsume, there is 5 silvers !!
So I supposed that the piece at 7i is a promoted knight instead of a
promoted silver.

In this case, you only have to find the first move, the others follow simply :

1. S*3c

Then white has those replies :

1... xP 2.Rx4b+ +-
1... xN 2.S*3a K1b 3.S*2a xK 4.Sx4b+ K1b 5.R2a+ xK 6.+Sx3b +-
1... xK 2.+Rx4b K3d 3.+Rx4d Rx2e 4.S*1f K3f 5.+Rx4e K3g 6.+Rx4h and mate in
3 japanese moves.
