Ordering go and shogi equipment from overseas

We do not hold stock. When you send a request, we contact makers and shops in Japan, then send you a quote. This is the same service we offer in Japanese on our order page.

What we can arrange

Go and shogi boards (tabletop and legged), go stones (clamshell and slate), shogi pieces and go bowls. Items are made or ordered for you, so there is always a lead time.

How it works

1. Send your request by email to tanaka@mirai-edit.com. Please include tabletop or legged board, the thickness you want, the wood (for example honkaya or shinkaya), the space where it will stand, your country and your budget. You do not need to know the exact product name.
2. We send a quote within 2 business days (Japan time): whether we can arrange it, the price, the international shipping cost and the expected lead time. Nothing is charged at this stage.
3. Confirm the order. If you are happy with the quote, tell us and we will send a card payment link.
4. Pay in advance by credit card through a secure online payment link that we send with your order confirmation, within 7 days. Prices are in Japanese yen; your card company converts the amount to your currency.
5. We order and ship. After payment is confirmed we order from the maker or shop, then ship to you with tracking. Made-to-order items can take several weeks to several months; the quote states the expected time.

Shipping, duties and taxes

• International shipping is quoted for each order, based on size, weight and destination.
• Legged boards are heavy. A thick legged board can weigh tens of kilograms, so shipping can cost a lot. We include the shipping estimate in the quote so you can decide before paying anything.
• Import duties and taxes are charged by your country and are paid by you when the parcel arrives, unless the quote says otherwise. Rules differ by country, so check with your local customs if you are unsure.

Returns

• If an item arrives faulty, damaged or wrong, contact us within 8 days of delivery with photos. We will replace it or refund it at our cost.
• Because every item is ordered for you, we cannot accept returns for a change of mind. Please check the specifications in the quote carefully before you pay.
