Japan Shogi Association All Players' Folding Fans, Fiscal Year 2009

2009 (Heisei 21) All Professional Shogi Players' Autographed Fan (Printed)
A must-have commemorative item for shogi fans!

2009 – "Regime Change" became a buzzword, and
society was greatly changing.
Haruki Murakami's "1Q84" became a bestseller, and
the anime "K-ON!" began broadcasting.
This fan is a valuable commemorative item from the shogi world,
encapsulating the atmosphere of that era.

This fan features the signatures of all the professional shogi players active at the time,
making it a true "miniature of Heisei shogi history."

Although not handwritten,
as an officially produced commemorative item,
it's a must-see for shogi fans and collectors.

Recommended for those who:

Want to reminisce about the names of the Habu generation and young players
Want to keep a record of shogi culture in their hands
Are looking for an item that captures the atmosphere of Heisei

Along with the main events of 2009:
The Democratic Party's historic victory in the House of Representatives election
The start of the lay judge system
Michael Jackson's sudden death, bringing the world to tears
Dragon Quest IX became a social phenomenon
Arashi dominated the music charts

In such a turbulent year, the shogi world quietly
held heated matches on the board.
This fan, as if encapsulating that atmosphere,
is a "cultural testament" that speaks of the times.

All professional shogi players' fan from the Japan Shogi Association. Made in 2009 (Heisei 21)

In 2009,
