Subject: shogi variants

In his diary, the piece maker Minase Kanenari (1514-1602) says that he had produced with his son 618 sets for Sho Shogi, 106 for Chu Shogi, 2 for both Dai Shogi and Dai-Dai Shogi, 3 for Maka-Dai-Dai Shogi and 4 for Tai Shogi between 1590 and 1602.
Are there more contemporary terms for these shogi variants? (because I've never heard of Maka-Dai-Dai shogi before...)
