Taking a small break

Hey guys,

This blog will be currently taking a small break because I have a severe medical condition. Hope I'll be able to continue posting more Shogi photos again in a week or two.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience because my medical condition is heavily affecting my daily life. I hope to post more soon!

Regards,
Ryou Takehito
