Japanese chess (sho-ngi); the science and art of war or struggle philosophically treated
An English-language guide to Japanese chess (sho-ngi) by Cho-yo, published in New York and Chicago in 1905 for Western readers curious about the game and the just-fought Russo-Japanese War. Pen-and-ink maps of Manchuria and Korea with hatched hills, dotted troop lines and labelled ports sit beside board diagrams of ruled grids, dotted move paths and inset display capitals.
