I made several sets for a mini shogi tournament at my thinking games camp.

I used Hidetchi Pieces (the same pieces littlegolem uses). You can get the pieces here:

I then laminated the pieces. I also made large sized pieces for my demo-board.

For the paying boards, I used some old vinyl chess boards and cut them into 5x5s

I tried finding Hidetchi tiles, but could not find them, so rather than use Japanese character tiles, I decided to make the laminate pieces. They worked quite good but they don't make that tile banging noise!

Thanks Ray! It would be good if someone could publish these little gems. I'll see what I can do to make my own set as per your suggestion.

If you have an entropy set I believe there is a 5x5 board on the back of the entropy set you could use for playing the 5x5 variant with the right sized pieces!

I would love to buy a nice mini shogi set too, if it were possible.
