OUR FINAL YEAR PROJECT : 

JAPANESE TRADITIONAL GAMES (KEMARI)

Between 300 AD – 600 AD, the Japanese developed a game called Kemari or sometimes called Kenatt. It was played with a deerskin-covered ball about 9-10 inches in diameter and stuffed with sawdust. Eight or less players had to keep the ball from touching the floor by juggling it with their feet and passing it from one another. The playing field used for Kemari was called Kikutsubo. Traditionally, the Kikutsubo is rectangular-shaped with a sapling planted in each corner. The “classic” version supposedly featured four distinct trees: cherry, maple, willow and pine.

The period between the 10th and 16th century was the golden age of Kemari. The game spread to the lower classes and was mentioned in Japanese poetry and writing. One anecdote tells of an emperor who along with his team, kept the ball up for over 1000 kicks. Eyewitnesses claim that the ball “seemed suspended, hanging in the sky”. Afterwards, the ball was retired and given a high court rank by the emperor himself.

Around the 13th or 14th century a specific Kemari outfit was introduced, a vivid long-sleeved uniform based on the hitatare. The game of Kemari is still played today in Japan by enthusiasts who want to preserve the tradition.
