On September 9, the game that decided the Oi title in shogi came to an end.

Fujii Sota, twenty-four, has now held the Oi title for seven straight years.

His opponent was Ito Takumi, the same age as him.

He won four games and lost two.

The game was played over two days at a traditional inn in Kanagawa.

Fans around the world watched this long match of 140 moves.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
