The exact origins of Sanomanji are not well-documented, but it is believed to have emerged during the Edo period (1603–1867 CE), a time when Shogi was highly popular among the Japanese samurai class and the general populace. This variant was designed to offer a more challenging and complex version of Shogi, incorporating not one, not two, but three boards. Players have to strategize across these boards, making Sanomanji significantly more complicated and engaging than its single-board counterpart.
