A vintage oversized Shogi (Japanese chess) King piece ornament by Ohsaku (Hishinuma Osho Seisakusho) of Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, a region renowned throughout Japan for its Shogi piece craftsmanship. It was displayed for some time and then stored for years with its original product stickers still attached.

In Japan, large Shogi piece ornaments are traditionally displayed in homes, entryways, offices, and shops as symbols of good fortune and protection. They are also popular gifts for housewarmings and new business openings. Different characters are believed to carry different meanings:
- Osho (King): Represents leadership, victory, and successful governance or business management.
- Fuhyo / Tokin (Pawn / Promoted Pawn): Symbolizes steady progress, diligence, and stepping up in life or career.
- Hidari-Uma (Left Horse): A horizontally-inverted horse character that traditionally acts as a talisman to attract customers, bringing commercial prosperity and wealth.

[IMPORTANT Notice to U.S. Buyers]

As of October 17, 2025, eBay requires Japanese sellers to ship to the U.S. under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). We cover all import taxes, fees, and customs duties for U.S. buyers, so you should not be required to pay any additional costs upon delivery.

[IMPORTANT Notice to non-U.S. Buyers]
We suggest making a discounted offer first or contacting us for a discount if you like, because your order will be shipped from Japan under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) and may be subject to import taxes, fees, and customs duties levied by your local customs office, which vary according to your local regulations. This allows us to adjust the price so the total cost remains reasonable for you.
