A dream to establish a system to dispatch Shogi instructors overseas(Vol.16,2001.7.26)
A dream is to think how nice it would be if we could make this or that or to think if there existed this or that. In reality, nothing is materialized yet. Planning is a step forward to realize what is imagined in a dream. (By Naohiro Sanada, chaiman)
A motto of ISPS is “Try to have big dreams and realize them steadily little by little.”
A dream that ISPS had until the year before last was “conversion into a corporation of ISPS”. Without any help from a professional expert, thanks to the introduction of a new law on Non-Profit Organizations, we achieved this in autumn of last year.
A next dream after our conversion into a corporation was to promote Japanese and Chinese children’s Shogi matches sponsored by official organizations on a regular and repeating basis. The “First Goodwill Festa of Matches between Japanese and Chinese Elementary School Children” realized the dream.
Sponsored by the Japan Shogi Association, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, preliminary matches of children in Tokyo shall be held in June and the final selection, inviting Chinese children, shall be held in July. (The detail of the final matches shall be informed in the Kakehashi No. 17.)
This dream has expanded further. Next year as a part of the 30th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, the second festa is now being planned.
The pleasant dream that the children of both countries will continue Shogi matches every year by exchanging visits between Tokyo and Beijing is now being translated into reality.
At this juncture, as the strength of ISPS becomes stronger, here is another dream that we hope will be realized. This dream is the “establishment of a system to dispatch Shogi instructors overseas”. Recently, in China, Russia, Sweden, etc., persons who have come to be aware of the appeal of Shogi are increasing. And they are eager to spread it. Now, the number of countries and persons who are attracted by Shogi will be increasing more than ever.
According to our past experience, problems facing a country where nothing is known about Shogi are the following: --
(1) Lack of Shogi instructors
(2) Lack of instruction books written in a local language where Shogi will be popularized (Even books on Shogi written in English are quite limited in number.)
(3) Hard to obtain a board and pieces of Shogi
It is not rare that professional Shogi players visit abroad giving lessons, or amateur-volunteers teach basics to foreigners. I know an instance that in Paraguay, a Japanese man produced special pieces of Shogi for the sake of native people who could not read Japanese and then he started giving lessons.
In spite of that example, it can be said that so far nothing has been done under a long range plan. Under such circumstance, I am of the opinion that ISPS can contribute greatly if we are able to dispatch a coach to a foreign organization or individual persons at their request for a term according to a plan based upon an established system. This will surely help the popularization of Shogi.
So far this is what I dream as a desirable system, which should be materialized. However, no concrete measure has been decided yet. In order to make it a reality, we should think of ways to collect and pool talented people. There are some difficulties. Among them: how long they should be dispatched to what country or countries; how those kinds of things are to be decided, etc.
The most important problem is the question of who is going to bear the expenses. If ISPS was a rich organization, such a plan could easily be realized only upon obtaining an authorization from the directors or a general meeting of the members.
Unfortunately, for the present, ISPS is not that rich. Nevertheless, we should somehow try to do our best under the limited circumstances. Then let us try to find sponsors. A Shogi fan, with a burning passion for popularization of Shogi world-wide, suddenly dies with a will to donate immense wealth to ISPS – A fairy-tale. Such is like winning the first prize at lottery. Let us turn to a more realistic story.
A realistic possibility that has emerged recently is that it may be possible for us to join the “Supporting Plan for Youth’s International Activities” sponsored by Kanagawa Prefecture. The gist of this plan is that Kanagawa Prefecture is to support youth’s international activities. Its qualification are as follows: --
*18-30 years old person living, working and / or studying in Kanagawa Prefecture
*A subject place: A place either designated by the Prefecture, or a person selected is
to decide in accordance with his (or her) desire.
*Term: More than one month and less than six months
*Expenses: The Prefecture is to pay half the amount needed for the international
activities.
Since this is a public system, there are a number of restrictions. Nevertheless, if ISPS were able to find a young person who is a strong Shogi player and lives in Kanagawa, it would be possible for ISPS to let him apply for the plan and then send him abroad. For instance, we could set up a plan to send him to Shanghai, which is a sister city of Yokohama (in Kanagawa Prefecture), to give instructions to pupils of elementary and middle schools there. However, in this case, he should be good at Chinese. Since half the cost is to be borne by the Prefecture, we should decide how much of the balance should be borne by him and ISPS. If one million yen is to be borne by the youth and ISPS, by counting backwards, we can decide how long he can stay and teach in Shanghai.
Thus we can somehow send a coach abroad. Of course further effort is needed for extension and continuation of such an idea.
If we try to search such a plan at other local governments, we may be able to find similar systems. The national government may have almost the same system. Anyway if ISPS is able to utilize such a system, we may be able to materialize our plan with a limited amount of money.
Since I am looking for the members’ ideas on the matter and materialize international popularization of Shogi, your opinion on the matter is highly appreciated. Let me hear your opinion.

Let us Promote Tokyo - Beijing Elementary School Children's Shogi friendly Matches(Vol.15, 3.31.2001)
It was in 1997 when ISPS invited 3 elementary school children from Beijing for the first time. In those days it was no easy matter for ordinary Chinese people to go abroad. However, each year for the past 4 years, a few elementary and junior high school boys and girls from Beijing and Shanghai came to visit Japan to learn and play Shogi. (by Naohiro Sanada, Chaiman)
Happily, reflecting the recent economic development of China, the restriction on travel abroad has eased.
Taking into account this improved situation, it has come to mind that it would be a good time for official organizations from both Japan and China to become avid supporters for the promotion of Shogi matches for elementary school children of both countries. The following is a written proposal to materialize the dream mentioned above.
One of the important points of this written proposal is to connect two sister cities, Beijing of China and Tokyo of Japan, with Shogi. Shogi matches between the two cities should not be a single shot promotion. Reciprocal and periodical exchange of visits by children of both cities to play Shogi is what I have in my mind. While the language barrier is a concern, we must remember that the main participants are the elementary school children of the two sister cities. Even if they may not be able to communicate verbally, they will be able to communicate their feelings and intentions through Shogi. If these matches are repeated every year, the number of children who can communicate their feelings and understand opponents' intention is sure to increase.
The first rally of Shogi matches of children of the two cities sponsored by our organization, ISPS, is to be held in July this year.
Preliminary matches in Tokyo are scheduled to begin in May of this year.
The most important problem standing in the way of this rally is "the expense". If Chinese counterparts are able to come to Tokyo by their own account, the "expense" to be borne by us shall be only the operating expense of the rally. In the future such treatment may become possible. But for the present, without assistant from our side, the scheduled 10 children's visit from China to Tokyo is impossible.
The expense needed for this occasion is calculated to be 1,050,000 yen and I am currently trying to think how to make it. Here are a few ideas: --
*Try to seek an organization or a corporation which can contribute the whole amount without batting an eye.
*Try to hold a charity Shogi match rally to support Tokyo-Beijing elementary school children matches.
*Try to collect mini-sponsors with a limited amount of money.
A unit of subscription (for an individual person) 1,000 yen
" (for an organization) 100,000 yen
Since ISPS is the sponsor, the call for mini-sponsors shall be
first made to our members. However, individuals and/or
organizations other than our members are of course welcome. If
the total amount ever exceeds the estimated amount, the balance
shall be carried over as a fund for proceeding years.
Positive support of the members of ISPS is strongly requested.

Converted into a Corporation(Vol.14,12.25.2000)
On September 29, 2000, our application submitted to Kanagawa Prefecture to acquire the status of a non-profit organization “International Shogi Popularization Society” was certified.(by Naohiro Sanada, Chairman)
Subsequently, on October 4, an official registration as a legal personality was carried out. Then on October 25, a notification of establishment ISPS as the legal personality was submitted to a revenue office. Thus with much pleasure, I would like to inform and to express thanks to you that all necessary procedures have been taken for ISPS to acquire a status of a legal personality.
Acquisition of a legal personality had been a dream since establishment of our society. I hoped for a long time that with an increase of the number of members and strengthening of the financial structure, the society should quickly acquire a legal personality leaving the status of a voluntary association. Happily, my dream was realized earlier than anticipated thanks to the recent inauguration of the nonprofit activities (NPO) promotion law.
Despite the high aim of ISPS, it was regarded to be weak financially as well as organizationally. Since NPO is not a magic wand, acquisition of a legal personality does not overcome our other weaknesses. As a matter of fact, a member told me that if ISPS should acquire a legal personality, he would leave the organization. Since the will and aim of members vary, I think we would do ourselves an injustice to create a strictly defined organization. Originally, since ISPS is an organization whose aim it is to enjoy playing Shogi with the people of the world, I am of the opinion that the internal organizational structure can be flexible. Simply by acquisition of the non-profit status, contact with other organizations outside may be changed. The judgment of outsiders for us may need to be changed for the better and can be a big benefit of this status change. The scope of our activities can be expanded much wider than ever.
As to the financial side, if we remain inactive, we will rely on increasing the number of members and the current membership fee. However, because of the acquisition of this legal status, we can more positively explain the objectives of ISPS and acquire understanding and cooperation from outside. On such occasion, I am sure that the status of a legal personality rather than a voluntary association can work more positively. One of the most important works that a new Chairperson and Directors should do is the collection of necessary funds by positively utilizing the newly acquired legal status.
As I stated before, a motto of ISPS is “to make dreams as big as possible with a commitment to work steadily”. Now let us try harder to realize our dreams by making the best use of our newly acquired non-profit legal status.

ISPS-An Insititution for Popularization of Shogi(Vol.13,9.15.2000)
In our organ “Kakehashi”, I have decided to have a column in which our dreams and projects shall be described. For the time being, I shall be in charge of filling up the column. Of course, since it is an open forum, any member is free to use the column for expressing his view. (by Naohiro Sanada, Chairman)
One of the mottos of our society since its establishment is “to make dreams as big as possible with a commitment to work steadily”.
The purpose of our society is to let people of the world understand and enjoy Shogi. However, the challenge of spreading Shogi throughout the world is beyond a single person’s ability. Hence, it becomes necessary to establish and utilize an organizational power. Our intention is to accept interested and motivated people as members and help them spread Shogi utilizing the function of our organization.
Interestingly, there are a few people who are against spreading Shogi internationally. For example, Japanese residents accused a person who gave lessons on the game to Chinese children in Beijing since Chinese children became much stronger than Japanese children. Likewise, among my friends, there is a person who is against teaching Shogi to foreigners on the grounds that persons who are not Japanese should not hold such important titles as “Meijin” and “Ryuou”.
In the 21st century, by means of development of transportation and communication, contact of different countries is sure to become much closer. Under such circumstances, is there any point in boasting to be the world’s No. 1, by winning a title of a game which is played only within Japan among Japanese？
According to the rules of Japanese Shogi, since pieces taken out from the opponent can be utilized, diversity of situations about the end of a game is so varied that it is more interesting than the other equivalents like chess.
As a matter of fact, after teaching Shogi to foreigners who are strong in Chess or Chinese Shogi, I usually ask them, “Which of the two is more interesting?” Their answer is “Just between us, Japanese Shogi is more interesting”.
Can you imagine that in spite of such attractiveness, there are professional Shogi players solely in Japan? Do you not think that the present situation is rather strange? Hence, I strongly advocate that we, the members of I.S.P.S., helping each other, should spread Shogi throughout world.
During this year, I.S.P.S. is scheduled to acquire a legal personality as a non-profit organization. By acquiring this legal personality, the organization affirms its commitment to fulfill the obligations spelled out in its charter. Thus, our group is poised to grow from a mere group of Shogi lovers to an organization devoted to international cultural activities through Shogi.
Thus your kind understanding and continued cooperation are becoming more valuable as we continue in our quest.
