Japan Shogi Association, All Players' Folding Fans, Fiscal Year 2006

2006 All-Pro Players Autographed Folding Fan (Printed)
A nostalgic piece that excites Shogi fans

2006 – The year "Inaba-bauer" became a buzzword,
Shizuka Arakawa won a gold medal at the Turin Olympics.
Yuki Saito, the "Handkerchief Prince," electrified Koshien Stadium,
and the Wii and DS revolutionized homes.
This folding fan is a valuable commemorative item that the Shogi world left behind in that turbulent year of 2006.

This fan features the signatures of all the active players at the time,
bringing together a true "snapshot of Heisei Shogi history."
Although not handwritten,
as an officially produced commemorative item,
it's a must-see for Shogi fans and collectors.

Recommended Points:
You can see the names of star players of the Heisei Shogi world, such as Yoshiharu Habu, Koji Tanigawa, and Yasumitsu Sato.

As a commemorative item symbolizing Heisei Shogi culture,
it's a valuable piece to display and talk about.

It's also practical as a fan,
and can be enjoyed as a summer tradition.
You can even use it during Shogi tournaments.

Along with the main events of 2006:
Shizuka Arakawa wins a gold medal, the buzzword "Inaba-bauer" is born
North Korea conducts an underground nuclear test, shocking the international community
Haruki Murakami wins the Kafka Prize
Nintendo releases "Wii," changing the common sense of gaming
The drama "Nodame Cantabile" sparks a classical music boom

A record of the Shogi world that embodies the atmosphere of that era,
this folding fan is not just merchandise, but a "testament to culture."

The 2006 fiscal year corresponds to the year 2006 in the Western calendar,
and this is a folding fan with the signatures of all Shogi players.
It's from 19 years ago.

It has been carefully stored, but it has deteriorated due to its age.

The fan itself was kept in a plastic bag, so
it's in relatively good condition for its age.

The Meijin (Shogi Grandmaster) at the time was Toshiyuki Moriuchi,
and the Ryuo (Dragon King) was Akira Watanabe.

I am looking for someone to buy it.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for viewing.
