On Saturday, January 21st, from 2pm, in the pouring snow, the 3rd Hokuryu Kendama Festival, sponsored by the Hokuryu Kendama Club (representative: Naoki Kishi), was held in the large hall on the second floor of the Hokuryu Town Community Center. Approximately 14 energetic elementary and junior high school students from Hokuryu Town, along with about 4 adults, participated, playing energetically and having fun.<\/p>\n

Game Description: Representative Kishi<\/h2>\n

"Today we'll be doing unicorn races and trick battles.<\/p>\n

In the unicorn race, opponents are decided by drawing lots and the children compete one-on-one!<\/p>\n

In the trick battle, participants choose nine tricks from the ones indicated with points, write them down on a sheet (3x3 square sheet), and then try to perform the tricks in three minutes!<\/p>\n

Points will be awarded for tricks that can be completed within the time limit!
\nPlus, you'll get 5 extra points for every 9-frame bingo!
\nThe person with the most points at the end wins!<\/p>\n

After the first set, the top six will compete in the finals, with medals awarded to first through third place.
\nFinally, there will also be an adult trick battle, so please look forward to it," said Representative Kishi.<\/p>\n

The heated game begins!<\/h2>\n
