They all appear to be from the same directory.

I now created the tiles piece set for Wa Shogi, as 99x99 PNG images of two-kanji tiles. (The Interactive Diagram displays those at 33x33, but they can be zoomed in on to improve the resolution, rather than blur them.) Although Wa Shogi has many pieces that also occur in other Shogi variants, the names are all different, so there is no overlap with the tile sets for other Shogi variants.

From what I gather, several sources exist, with different movesets. As I don't read japanese, is there anyone who knows what the other movesets are, and how credible they are as sources for Wa?

I am not aware of any such sources.

Shogi Zushiki, sho Shogi Zushiki & Kokon Shogi Zui are given by Cazaux as sources.

I do not have access to These, nor anything relating their differences on wa/yamato.
