I suggest, in graphical diagrams, make the tee squares different colors (for example, normal squares white, tee squares green, lake squares blue, and border gray; of course also with borders in between in square like in shogi), with Japanese piece icons, and dots on a square to represent balls.

In monochrome graphical diagrams, use wavy lines for lake, and thicker borders for tee.

In ASCII diagrams, use numbers to represent balls, * for lake, and uppercase/lowercase to tell first player/second player's pieces.

Sounds a good idea. I'll see what I can do, although I probably won't bother with the coloured squares as they are so memory-heavy.

An Ascii Art diagram of the kind suggested has been added. I would be interested to know what everyone thinks.

I like this ASCII art diagram. But this sentence seems to have mistakes in it: 'A for indicxates an empty square.' (You probably meant 'A dot indicates an empty square.')

Ironic given that I devised this variant 'as I was typing away quickly at' an earlier one. Thank you, I have corrected the typos. In case anyone is unaware, ffen is not a typo but refers to the system used for this page's original graphics.
