Designing a Musical Game Of Shogi

Abstract

This paper will discuss the design and implementation of the Shogi board, an interface built to allow members of the general public to interact with various Japanese instruments in a novel way. The Shogi board brings elements of Japanese culture to the attention of the general public in England ahead of the season of culture commencing in 2019. This interface utilizes maker technology to create an accessible method for members of the general public to compose music with traditional instruments in public settings.
