An interesting game of Japanese chess, or shogi, took place in Yamagata prefecture a couple of weeks ago. In this match--played by two female professionals--high school students dressed up as warriors and courtesans and posed as pawns on a human-sized board laid out on a grassy field. It's actually an annual event and is held on a mountain when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Must be beautiful to watch.
