We went to a nice temple I dont know where and joined in a few traditional japanese games. One of the games was hosted by my host mum. The games are a bit hard to explain but ill try.
Game 1
This is a game only played on the 9th of september.
There are 11 cups with a smell in this is how they are divided:
Cup 1: 2
Cup 2: 3
Cup 3: 3
Cup 4: 3
You are allowed to test smell one of cup 1 and one of cup 2. So when the game starts there will be 9 cups. This is the way the smells are divided:
Cup 1: 1
Cup 2: 2
Cup 3: 3
Cup 4: 3
Now these cups are passed around at a random order, and your job is to list them in the order you think they are in. Might either be easy or hard to understand. You write your answer on a paper and if you get more then 3 right your good. (I got two)
Game 2
This game is called moon something or the other.
You have two smells, and there are three cups of each. The smells are called moon and guest. You are allowed to smell Moon. Now when the game stars the "smell mistress" (we'll just call her that) randomly pics three out of the six cups. These are passed around and smelled. You have to guess the right way they are. There are of course many possibilities on the order. You write your answer on a piece of paper again (got two again)
This is the way the games are played. It was kind of hard to sit still for these... becouse theyr not the most exiting... but they were still intresting.
We also went to a tea seremony.
In the evening we went to a cinese restourant with my family (missing Takashi, Hiroko, Mayu and Ryuta), please check the pictures from my gallery.
Me and Yutaka came to the conclusion that Shigeru-san is a serious tobacco addict and that Akira is also an addict.
