Yes I know about it since I've read Couch Tomato's useful blog post in Lichess where these colored pieces are shown on board.
These do look quite impressive!
I tested the possibility of making a physical shogi game from svg.
I started from
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4750301
which had hollowed out 3D pieces with SVGs in freecad.
In tinkercad I exported a svg for laser cutting with a set of selected pieces :
At the moment I can't cut the back of the pieces because, as the pieces are inclined, they are not horizontal on both sides.
I'm not going any further this time, but I'm sharing a photo because it might inspire someone to share sets for laser cutting from their SVG library.

Thank you, I hadn't read that article before.
I started indeed from the same pieces but I didn't want to use 3D printing to make plastic pieces this time.
I wanted to test laser cutting to make wooden or slate pieces quickly, easily and cheaply... in one ou two passes max for the set.
Unfortunately, these parts aren't perfectly suited to this, so I'll have to remake them. Maybe I'll do that later.
As I know that there are creators of pieces and beautiful libraries of SVG, there may be someone who would be interested to try. Apparently a lot of software allows you to hollow out a piece from an svg easily.
