Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association International Exchange Salon Old-fashioned play in Japan

[Silver] February 1, 2014 09:00

 

 At the International Exchange Salon in January, "Japanese old-fashioned play" was held.

Residents from foreign countries such as China, Vietnam and France enjoyed interacting with each other.

 What is the traditional play that has been popular in Japan for a long time?

 

1) Kendama: This is a play that originated in France.

 In French, it is said that it is called Billeboquet.

 The origin of Kendama is said to be from the time of King Anri III in France in the 16th century.

 One thing I got to know. Merci beaucoup !

  At first it was difficult until I got used to it, but the technique of piercing the "ken tip" at the tip of the shaft was made in 20 minutes.

  She also succeeded in the photo!

2) Next is a "shaven turning" using a picture card of Hyakunin Isshu.

 In this play, we distribute some pieces to each person at first, then pull one by one, and draw another with the princessvirgo' picture card.

 When the shaven comes out, he puts his own tag on the spot. If a princessvirgo' picture card appears to the next person,

 He can get all the picture cards in the place. This is an interesting game that repeats the state of heaven and hell, but is a richly rich game.

3) Darling: It's a very familiar play.

The man who came from France was not at first, but has improved completely.

4) A good laugh

 A blindfold, place parts such as eyebrows, eyes and nose, mouth, etc. on the spread of the towel.

 The surroundings are laughing at the fun of the finished face!

In February, it is said that it is "wagashi making" with a craftsman from a famous store in Chuo-ku as a lecturer. I'm looking forward to it.
