掬水作盛上駒
2012/12/17 Poster：Steve Sun Recommend rate：★★★★★
Kikusui is THE manufacturer of ink-raised Shogi Pieces. He makes the best ink-raised Shogi pieces, and he only makes ink-raised pieces! His son, 淘水, however, makes all types of Shogi pieces, so as his student 清泉。This set will become collector's item for sure! Since I do not like the calligraphy style, so I just let it go... My favorite calligraphy style is 菱湖書(Ryoko-Sho).
