"Samurai" refers to the military of pre-industrial Japan and those trained soldiers who worked in close proximity to the noble class. The Japanese Samurai II Chessmen depict these historical characters, including soldiers and kings, women and horsemen, on two opposing sides. Painted by hand in striking colors and constructed of poly-resin plastic, these highly detailed pieces are ideal for Japanese history lovers and chess aficionados alike. Kings stand 3.25 inches tall.
This set includes your choice of boards (the walnut and high gloss boards include built-in storage drawers for pieces).
