On Tuesday, February 18th, from 6pm, in the pouring snow, about 20 children and adults from the Hokuryu Kendama Club gathered in the Hokuryu Town Community Center large hall to compete in a very exciting "airplane showdown" between children and adults!<\/p>\n

The "airplane" technique involves holding the ball instead of the sword, rotating the sword half a turn, and inserting the tip of the sword into the hole in the ball.<\/p>\n

For today's Kendama, one child and one adult will take the stage and play rock-paper-scissors to decide who will go first. They will attempt the "Airplane" trick, and the one who completes it in three rounds will be the winner.<\/p>\n
