Both are used at pro games. It's a matter of preferen= ce. But I heard Ohashi's style is more popular. The difference of the two is the order of placing each piece. Please refer to the following page; http://shogi-pineapple.com/bbs/mibbs.cgi?mo=3Dp&fo=3Dbeginner&tn=3D0006 There are two diagrams there.
