A defensive match from Koji Tanikawa's "O-i" reign. A historical document capturing the intense battle in Tokushima. This is an actual "fūjite" (sealed move) from the 3rd game of the 32nd O-i title match, held from August 6th to 7th, 1991 (Heisei 3). In this series, the reigning Shogi champion, O-i Koji Tanikawa (now 17th Meijin), faced the rising challenger, Hiroki Nakata, a 5th dan. Tanikawa successfully defended his title with a 4-2 victory, and this is a precious relic from the 3rd game, a crucial mid-game juncture. Product Features: Match: 32nd O-i Title Match, 7-game series, Game 3 Players: O-i Koji Tanikawa vs. Challenger Hiroki Nakata (5th dan) Date: August 6, Heisei 3 (at the end of Day 1) Venue: Tokushima Park Hotel (Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture) Rarity: Only two sealed moves exist in the world for each game. Especially those from matches held in regional areas are extremely rare, one-of-a-kind items that could only be obtained through connections with people involved at the time or through prizes. Product Condition: The envelope bears the inscription "August 6, Heisei 3" and "Tokushima Park Hotel," recording the details of the time. As this is a paper product over 30 years old, there are signs of age-related yellowing and minor damage. We wish to pass this on to a collector who understands its character as a historical document. (Please check the photos for details.) Value of this Item: A record of Koji Tanikawa's "O-i" era. This is a record of a move played by a full-power Tanikawa in Shikoku. A record of the challenge by the late Hiroki Nakata, 8th dan. This is a commemorative series from the first title challenge by the late Hiroki Nakata, who is deeply missed. A document from a title match in Shikoku, Tokushima. Regional match documents are scarce, and their value as local historical materials is extremely high. This item conveys the intensity of the legendary chess players who left their mark on Shogi history. We encourage those who will cherish it to consider it. Thank you for viewing. #KojiTanikawa #HirokiNakata #Shogi #OiTitleMatch #SealedMove #KenjiMori
