For this one I need looser standards as it can be argued that this is not a chess image at all. Many Japanese productions (literary works, cinema, tv) revolve around their vernacular games (shogi, go) or just use them as one more element within a bigger plot. It is not uncommon for the translators or adaptors of those work to use the word "chess", to help Western audicences understanding.This is more appropiate in the case of shogi that in the case of go, as shogi belongs -as chess does- to the chaturanga family of games.
This is a game shop in Ginza, a shopping area of Tokyo. A place in which you will feel like an ant, like many times in Tokyo. It is a wonderful occasion to link the videos of the famous Shibuya crossing.
