A fuhyo(pawn) is worth a thousand golds.

1. A Shogi piece called 'Fuhyo'.

2. 'Fuhyo' is the 'pawn' in chess.

3. 'Fuhyo' is placed in a single row at the forefront of both sides during the initial setup.

4. It is the most abundant piece among shogi pieces and while individually the most feeble, it often holds the key to offense and defense, revealing a depth of complexity that is second to none among other pieces.

5. It is made of 925 silver.


    It is a shogi piece designed with motifs from the foot soldiers of Japan's Warring States period, around the mid-16th century.Positioned at the lowest ranks even among the samurai, they were lightly armed, and some even consisted of conscripted peasants. Based on such historical facts, we have meticulously reproduced the appearance of the infantrymen of that time.


    *Please note that the flags representing 'Narikin (promoted)' are sold separately.
