[From the Editor]
This book thoroughly explains the "basics" of enjoying Shogi in an easy-to-understand manner, focusing on illustrations and diagrams. The text is simplified and concise, making it more of an introductory guide that is understood visually rather than just through reading. Shogi is a deep game, and its enjoyment cannot be summed up in one word; however, there are satisfying moments like putting your opponent in check or having a major piece invade their territory.
This book is an introductory guide specifically aimed at children, focusing on the basics of Shogi as well as the parts that make children think "Shogi is fun!"—such as "capturing the opponent's pieces" and "promoting pieces in the enemy camp."
