Sota Fujii 7-dan's folding fan: Advance

【Rare - Sota Fujii, 7-dan Era, Autographed Fan "Advance"】
A piece that touches upon the "origin" before he won the title.

Sota Fujii, who continues to rewrite the history of the shogi world,
The word "Advance" (進) written by him during his 7-dan era.

This fan was created before he won his first title (Kisei),
and is a commemorative item that truly embodies his state of mind
as he was "on his way to the top."

The single character "Advance" (進) embodies
a determination to move forward despite hesitation,
a quiet fighting spirit,
and hope for the future.

Although the calligraphy is printed,
it was sold as official merchandise
by the Japan Shogi Association.

Mr. Fujii's autographed fans
feature different words chosen for each promotion,
and "Advance" was the calligraphy from his 7-dan era.
It is currently difficult to obtain and there are no plans for a reprint, making it a rare item.

The fan itself is made of elegant Japanese paper and bamboo ribs,
making it a beautiful item to display, give as a gift, or use.
It is a word that resonates with shogi fans, of course,
but also with everyone who continues to strive.

Thank you for viewing.
