Traditionally, the order of placing the pieces on the board is determined. There are two commonly used orders, the ''Ōhashi'' order 大橋流 and the ''Itō'' order 伊藤流.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shogi.or.jp/faq/index.html#hoka|script-title=ja:その他のご質問: 駒の並べ方に決まりはあるのでしょうか？|title=Sono Hoka no Goshitsumon: Koma no Narabikata ni Kimari wa Aru no Deshōka?|language=ja|trans-title= Other questions: Is there a certain way to set up the pieces?|publisher=日本将棋連盟 (Japan Shogi Association)|quote=江戸時代は, それぞれの家元に「大橋流」「伊藤流」という並べ方がありました。現在のでも, その並べ方を用いている棋士は少なからずおります. ただし, 決まりとして「このような並べ方をしなければならない」というものはありません. [In the Edo Era, each Iemoto had their own respective way of setting up the pieces: the 'Ohashi-style' and the 'Ito-style'. Although these two styles are still used today by many professionals, there is really no rule specifying that 'the pieces must be set up in this particular way'.]|access-date=17 December 2014}}</ref> Placement sets pieces with multiples (generals, knights, lances) from left to right in all cases, and follows the order:

# King
# Gold generals
# Silver generals
# Knights
:In ito, the player now places:
<ol start=5>
  <li>Pawns (left to right starting from the leftmost file)</li>
  <li>Lances</li>
  <li>Bishop</li>
  <li>Rook</li>
</ol>
:In ohashi, the player now places:
<ol start=5>
  <li>Lances</li>
  <li>Bishop</li>
  <li>Rook</li>
  <li>Pawns (starting from center file, then alternating left to right one file at a time)</li>
