Chess Set Description

The supreme Samurai is the Shogun, the absolute ruler of the land - shown here as chess king. To
the Japanese princess, depicted here as the queen, loyalty to her husband was paramount. The
Samurai soldiers themselves, the bishops, used swords, spears, muskets and bows - all with
deadly skill - to attack their enemies. The knights are the Samurai calvary, archers who would
traditionally shoot their foe only from the left. The rook is the Samurai holy temple, where the warrior
would go to meditate and grow. The pawns are the foot soldiers, not yet true Samurai warriors, who
were assembled in groups by their clans.
