【Legendary Shogi Player】Kozo Masuda, the 4th Meijin under the Strength-Based System Folding Fan "New Hand, One Life" Shogi Commemorative Item (Printed) A legendary shogi player who continued to revolutionize the shogi world. This is a commemorative folding fan with the calligraphy of Kozo Masuda, the 4th Meijin under the Strength-Based System. ■ Motto: "New Hand, One Life" This is the soul of Mr. Masuda, meaning "To spend one's life continuing to play new moves that no one has played before." "Losing is better than just following established patterns," he declared, and his unparalleled originality and pride as a competitor are condensed into these four characters. ■ Contributions to the Shogi World: Even now, as the "Kozo Masuda Award" is given to the most original move of the year, the strategies he devised (such as the Masuda-style Ishida-ryu) still shine at the forefront of modern shogi. His fierce battles with his fated rival and fellow disciple, Yasuharu Oyama, the 15th Meijin, are remembered as the golden age of the shogi world. This is a must-have item for shogi fans, especially those who love the history and romance of shogi. Thank you for viewing. #Shogi #FoldingFan #KozoMasuda #NewHandOneLife #LegendaryShogiPlayer
