A shogi board maker is being flooded with orders amid a boom in the traditional board game inspired by teenage prodigy Souta Fujii.

14-year old Fujii set an all-time record for the longest winning streak with his victory on Monday. He remains undefeated for 29 matches since his debut as Japan's youngest professional shogi player last October by being promoted to the 4th-dan.
