Again, regarding the rules of Taikyoku Shogi
<http://www.vega.or.jp/~patrick/shogi/taikyoku/>

The piece on the bottom right of p210 might be read "Kyuhan".  "Han" is
the second character of "Nehan" = Nirvana.  "Kyu" being dove, perhaps
the Kyuhan is a "Heavenly Dove".

BTW, the little footnote says:  The Kyuhan runs diagonally.  Or, it can
also jump three squares and then move either one or two squares further.

Unfortunately, there is another piece on the top left of p212 which
could also be called "Kyuhan"...  Back to square one?
