I have made some Shogi variants I am very happy with. This game's origins were more in Chinese Chess than in Shogi, and I think keeping some focus makes it a better game than trying to represent China and Japan equally. Despite having no pieces unique to Shogi, it does have more pieces from Shogi: King, Rook, and Bishop vs. Rook and Cannon. Also, the Cannon is truly an original Asian piece, whereas the pieces in Shogi have no powers of movement that are foreign to the pieces in Chess.
