Yes, they exist: https://www.google.nl/search?q=international+shogi+pieces&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjnmOH-1dbUAhVJbFAKHXhCCVQQ_AUICigB&biw=1024&bih=699

 

However, why not just learn the handful of Chinese characters required to read the pieces? It's not hard.

It's less than twenty characters for Shogi.

If you ever want to play online Shougi,

ShougiOnLine is pretty good.

It's pretty easy to log in, just Press the Red Button, then enter a user name, tick the check box, and a login Button will appear.

It's in Japanese. Japanese is hard.

This thread has made me consider learning to read Mandarin. So far, the tonal nature has put me off because I''m pretty deaf  but I just realised I can still learn to read it without speaking it. My mind works textually anyway.

My favourite Chinese learning website is LearnWithOliver, they send a sentence to your email account for free everyday, and have 4 levels.

I find it pretty good, so I don't lose my Chinese.

Their twitter account for Chinese is https://mobile.twitter.com/LWO_Chinese

 

 

This shougi website lets you practice, and uses Western pics.

But the Japanese one is good once you know the basic moves.

You start at ５級(level 5) but 1級 is the best level and 10級 beginers.

You can wait from somebody to offer you a game or press one of the rectangle icons (which is a Japanese player)

If offered a game just press はい(hai, yes)
