Play shogi using Ryoko calligraphy style shogi pieces on 81Dojo and Lishogi!
Ryoko style shogi pieces are based on the calligraphy of Maki Ryōko (巻菱湖), one of the Three Great Calligraphers of the late Edo period. Along with Kinki and Minase styles, Ryoko is one of the three most popular and used shogi pieces styles.
I recreated the pieces in Inkscape SVG format and as seen in the image above, I added the 1-kanji as well as the red promoted pieces to the standard black-colored, 2-kanji set.
- Available in 2-Kanji and 1-Kanji styles
- Also available with red promoted pieces
- Works with matches, puzzles, analysis and board editor
- Works with all variants except with Dobutsu Shogi on 81Dojo and Chu Shogi on Lishogi
- Option to select either 2-Kanji (default) or 1-Kanji style
- Ability to toggle red promoted pieces On and Off (default)
- Choose between four Kings style:
- Gyoku-Ou (Sente has the Jewel while Gote has the King)[default]
- Ou-Gyoku (Sente has the King while Gote has the Jewel)
- Double Gyoku (both have the Jewels)
- Double Ou (both have the Kings)
*Note: 81Dojo already has the correct distinction for Gyoku and Ou (Jewel and King), which is Ou for the higher rated/ranked player, so the default “Gyoku-Ou” should be selected for the Kings Style. However, for loaded external kifus, it seems like sente always has the gyoku, so you have the freedom to select the Kings Style depending on the ranking and your preference.
