Minase (水無瀬) Style Shogi Pieces on Lishogi

Kumuschiwa kishis!

I also recreated the Minase 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 use it on Lishogi, kindly visit the detailed instructions at luffykudo.wordpress.com/2024/08/16/minase-style-shogi-pieces/#installation-instructions

Just as 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 know, Minase style shogi pieces was created by Minase Kanenari (水無瀬兼成), a famous calligrapher of the aristocratic Minase Family. Some of his works are still preserved at the Minase Shrine. And along with Kinki and Ryoko styles, Minase is one of the three most popular and used 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/minase-shogi-pieces.png

Notes:
- Available in 2-Kanji and 1-Kanji styles
- Also available with red promoted pieces
- Works with matches, puzzles, analysis and board editor
- Works with all variants except with Chu Shogi

Features:
With this userstyle, you will have the:
- Option to select either 2-Kanji (default) or 1-Kanji style
- Ability to toggle red promoted pieces On and Off (default)
- Choose between four Kings style:
>>> Gyoku-Ou (Sente has the Jewel while Gote has the King)[default]
>>> Ou-Gyoku (Sente has the King while Gote has the Jewel)
>>> Double Gyoku (both have the Jewels)
>>> Double Ou (both have the Kings)
