Marius visited Japan 2

We moved to Shimbashi and talked about Shogi situation in Poland. Marius told that the number of Shogi population there stayed in even level and movement in Warsaw became inactive. On the other hand, he told a good news that a Shogi player has appeared in Wroclaw (300km south-west of Warsaw) and third Shogi club is expected to launch there.

In connection with this topic, Mr. Terao explained that one of the ‘EU Culture City in 2016’
is nominated to Wroclaw, various culture interchange programs will be planned and EU/Japan Japan Committee will fund to those programs. And, Mr. Terao proposed that Wroclaw launch a Shogi club in three years, expand its members and hold a Shogi event in 2016. Marius expressed his concerns on Mr. Terao’s proposals and promised to investigate the plan when he is back to Poland. ISPS presented 11 sets of Shogi pieces as gifts for Wroclaw.
