Tou-sen-kyou
I played the game which is called TOUSENKYOU. I had known the name, because I studied it at school. But I didn’t expect that it had happened to me. It was specific experience to feel our history!! It felt like I was back to edo era.
We can get deferent points depends on how it falls. I played several times, but I couldn’t get the highest one. It looks impossible…..please tell me if someone can do it. I respect you!! Are you interested in it? it must be fun!
"TO-U-SE-N-KYO-U"One of the games since Edo-era.After perching the target like a leaf of ginkgo-nuts called "Chou" (means butterfly) on the wooden box called "Makura" (means pillow), the player sits on the knee at a distance of about 1 meter, and tosses an opened fan (called "Ougi") to the target.Then the judge (called "Gyouji") determines the name and score for the situation among the fan, the target, and the box, simulated Murasaki-Shikibu's "the Tale of GENJI".It is related that this game started in 1773
