Step into a bygone era of Japanese chess craftsmanship with this faithful reproduction of the iconic Golden Castle “Craftsman” Series, originally produced in post-war Japan during the 1940s–50s.
Crafted from antiqued and ebonised boxwood, this 3.6-inch king set revives the legendary 3.5" “Craftsman” model—a Staunton-pattern design admired by collectors worldwide for its balance, elegance, and historical charm.
The premium boxwood finish replicates the classic black and golden lacquered appearance of the original—without the fragility of vintage lacquer.
The knight and bishop designs reflect a distinct Japanese interpretation of the Staunton style—graceful, compact, and made for serious play.
A rare opportunity to experience the spirit of Golden Castle—without the premium price tag or preservation concerns of an original vintage set.

Hello Manwinder,
It seems that, whilst waiting for your reply regarding a suitable set of figurines, I’ve missed the right time to order the "Leicht beschädigtes 3,6-Zoll-Schachspiel "Golden Castle Craftsman Reproduction“ – nur Schachfiguren – antikisiertes und ebonisiertes Buchsbaumholz
(€209,95)" as these figurines have now broken the 200 euro-mark, making them too expensive for me (to explain: after the discount has been applied, the figurines cost more than 150 euros and are therefore subject to double import duty).
I had specifically been looking for an antique-style figurine set costing less than 150 euros.
What can you suggest to me now, given that I’d only just managed to bring myself to think the king’s decorative lace was rather nice (;-).
Kind regards,
Rolf Zander
Hello Rolf
Thank you for reaching out.
I will connect with you shortly over your email.
Guten Tag,
Ich bin außerordentlich interessiert und möchte Sie bitten, mir zu beschreiben, worin die leichte Beschädigung dieser besonders schönen Figuren besteht.
Des Weiteren würde gern wissen, ob es möglich ist, die Spitze des Königs durch eine kleinere zersetzen?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Rolf Zander
Hallo,
vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht.
Unser Team wird Ihnen die Bilder in Kürze per E-Mail zukommen lassen.
Was den Austausch des Zieraufsatzes betrifft, so können wir Ihrem Wunsch leider nicht nachkommen.
I am interested but what is the specific imperfection on this set for sale?
