Among the artifacts brought back from Japan ten years ago was this random shogi-piece bottle opener. I'm not sure how we acquired it. I seem to remember it being a gift. But, it's one of those things that we wind up using a great deal.
Wonderful shot. Makes me think you're in the cabin of a small ship, being tossed in the stormy waters of the of Japan, and steeling yourself against the worst with some draughts of Sapporo.
Takodori, unfortunately, I returned to the U.S. some time ago, but thanks for the link. It's nice to know I might be able to get a replacement if this one ever gets lost.
I actually have a few nice mementos from that time (1994-1997). See today's pic (3/16/2007).
Dan, thanks. It did get pretty cold and scary a few weeks ago, so the beer became necessary. Athough I believe Sapporo is brewed by Budwesier stateside.

If you live in Japan now, you can buy the openers through the following page;
