This is a wooden Shogi piece made from Onore (斧折) wood. The base of the Shogi pieces is made from Onore wood, which is known for its hardness, and while the characters are slightly simplified, they are carved in a style close to the basic font of Shogi pieces.

　Onore wood gets its name from the fact that it is so hard that an axe can break when cutting it. This wood has a texture similar to the long-history material of Siamese boxwood, offering a pleasant feel when playing.

　Compared to the brighter-colored Siamese boxwood Shogi pieces, Onore Shogi pieces have a slightly reddish, subdued brownish color. With use, the color deepens slightly over time.

　Onore medium-carved Shogi pieces are a relatively affordable wooden option that allows you to enjoy the feel of the game. Though not in the basic font, they still offer good visibility akin to the upper-carved pieces. They have a uniquely clean atmosphere of medium carving.
