Feedback and enquiries from customers or potential customers is always informative!
Here is an email I received just now:
"About the shogi pieces, when you write "complete set of pieces" is that for one or two players?
Just to know how many I need to buy."
That is a very good question! It is also helps me to see things better from the customer's point of view. When I wrote the phrase "complete set of pieces" it seemed obvious to me that it meant 40 pieces - enough for two players to play a game of shogi.
But, actually, it is not so obvious. Just because I deal with shogi sets every day and am used to my own terminology does not mean that it is clear to someone who might be interested in buying a set from me. The customer comes to my site with no prior knowledge of me or the goods I offer.
So, let's be clear about this... my website offers "complete sets of shogi pieces that contain 40 pieces - all the pieces that two players need to play a game on one board". (Some sets include a spare piece, to make a total of 41 pieces!)

I think what you meant to say is 40 pieces (or 41 with the extra backup pawn in some sets) ;) Maybe you forgot to count the rooks and bishops?
Thank you for pointing that out! There are indeed 40 pieces in a complete shogi set!!
So much for my "being clear"!! LOL

I have now corrected the post.
