Configurable Kinki (錦旗) Style Shogi Pieces on Lishogi

Kumuschiwa kishis!

I also recreated the Kinki style shogi pieces in Inkscape SVG format and created a user style using Stylus browser extension for it to be used on Lishogi.

For guide on how to install it, kindly visit the detailed instructions at luffykudo.wordpress.com/2024/08/14/kinki-style-shogi-pieces/#installation-instructions

just like my previous userstyles for shogi pieces, this userstyle also has configurable features such as selecting your preferred Kings Style, switching between 2-kanji and 1-kanji pieces as well as between black and red promoted pieces.

As we all know, Kinki style shogi pieces were created by Toshima Ryuzan (豊島龍山), a shogi piece craftsman and is known as the Father of Modern Shogi Pieces. He based it on the writing style of Emperor Go-Mizunoo (後水尾天皇) which was handed down in the Ohashi family, one of the three head families of shogi during the Edo period. The name Kinki (錦旗) was taken from the first and last characters of 錦の御旗 (Nishiki no Mihata, Nishiki flag).

Kinki is the most popular and used calligraphy style on shogi pieces and along with Minase and Ryoko styles, is one of the three main calligraphy styles on shogi pieces.

I added the 1-kanji as well as the red promoted pieces to the standard black-colored, 2-kanji set as you can see in this image: luffykudo.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/pieces.png
