This is hand-silkscreened chiyogami paper. This paper is white color with black polka dots and "koma" pieces of shogi (chinese characters on them).
This measures 95 x 32 cm or 37.4 x 12.6 inches. It comes folded in a bag (I bought it this way) and I will package it very carefully so it doesn't get damaged.
Shogi (将棋, shÅgi) or Japanese chess (literally "generals' chess"; pronounced in English) is the most popular of a family of chess variants native to Japan. Unique to the Japanese forms of chess are the drops, moves whereby captured enemy pieces are returned into play as ally pieces.
