The images are from "Sekai no Shogi" by Isao Umebayashi, a Japanese book about shogi variants, published in 1997 by Shogi Tengokusha. The book gives diagrams and some explanations of the moves of the various pieces. What the author's sources were, we do not know. Page number links will display graphic images of the original pages in Japanese.
Ultimate Shogi

An ancient shogi with even more pieces than Mujotai Shogi, Taikyoku Shogi is thought to be the most recent of the large ancient shogis, although its existence is not widely known.Board

The pieces are shaped like other Japanese Shogi pieces, five-sided with the Kanji characters of the names written on them. (The promoted value appears on the reverse side.)

3. The Moves of the Pieces.
A 5 and a circle indicates that the piece may step up to five spaces in that direction. An X indicates that the piece may jump in that direction. 3 X would mean that the piece may jump to the third space in that direction. The solid arrow indicates a slide move.The dotted arrow indicates Ranging moves similar to Tenjiku Shogi, the ranking will be covered at the end of this document.

4. The remaining rules:
1) Pieces promote upon reaching any of the opponent's 11 ranks.2) Captured pieces are removed from play.
3) Free Eagle is able to capture without moving(igui) an adjacent square. With the squares marked (1)(2)(3) there are several move options (including the forward diagonal squares marked 4), may leap to the squares (2)(3) (up tp the fourth forward diagonal) then continue until capturing is one option. Another, for the squares marked (1)(2)(3) may preform consecutive capturing moves (up tp the fourth forward diagonal) may also preform passing move(jitto) if vacant adjacent square.
4) -|-|-|-> The meaning of this symbol is not known. There are no references to a line with three marks. It is believed that this may mean that a piece may jump up to three spaces and continue its slide.
5) Great General, Vice General, Rook General, Bishop General, Violent Dragon, Flying Crocodile are equal to their counterparts in Tenjiku Shogi. The pieces are able to leap over
others according to rank. By jumping over any number of lower ranked pieces, including friend and foe, continuing until making a capture.
What follows is the ranking of these pieces.
(1) King, Crown Prince (2) Great General (3) Vice General (4) Bishop General, Rook General, Violent Dragon, Flying Crocodile
(5) the other pieces
