In Shogi, piece stands are used to hold captured pieces, known as "mochigoma" (持ち駒), which players can later drop back onto the board as their own. These stands are placed next to the board, usually on the player's right, and are slightly lower than the playing surface. Proper organization of captured pieces on the stand is considered good etiquette and can aid in strategic thinking.
These luxurious Piece stands are made of Hiba wood and match the Hiba Shogi board very nicely.
