Parodies of Shogi, Japanese Chess , by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861)

This must be a humorous print irresistible to lovers of Japanese chess or shogi. And there are probably some viewers who can see themselves in the print playing shogi chess. The huge form of the human hand provides a fascinating contrast with the chessmen who seem to have come alive. We can get so carried away with the scene that we might overlook the superb rendition of the human hand.
