A "sun" (pronouced "soon") is just an unit of measurement that used to be
commonly used in Japan. On sun is roughly 3.3 cms.=20

Shogi boards are measured in suns so an 8 sun board would be bigger (higher=

or thicker) than a 5 sun board.  The height of koma dai probably reflects
the height of the board. Koma dais tend to be a little smaller that the
actual board so .5 sun koma dai for a 1 sun board sounds right. The set you=

have is probably one for each player
not two for one player so you do not need to stack them.
