I have created the first draft of a set of templates for making a Wa Shogi set. You will need an A3 printer.

Go to https://tinyurl.com/RogersShogiArchive and download the file: DIY Wa Shogi set.pdf

I'm still working out the best way to use Dropbox, so if you have any problems, the full URL is:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k9l6zc3ws1mlzg/DIY%20Wa%20Shogi%20set.pdf?dl=0

If you try this out, and have any problems, please let me know, so I can fix it.

The set consists of instructions, a board and all the pieces on a total of four sheets. The boards are based on one of my own Shogi boards, and the pieces are based on a leaflet published in 1980.

You will find the rules for this variant at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa Shogi; on my own (elderly) Shogi pages at: www.shogi.net/rjhare/wa-shogi/wa-intro.html; and also at: http://history.chess.free.fr/washogi.htm.

I think I might do Dai Shogi next...
