Undo-kai (sports festival) - 09/16/06 05:28 PM
The kids and I enjoyed Undo-kai today at the Japan club. Undo-kai is a festival/recreation centered around team-oriented games. The teams were Red and White (symbolizing the Japanese flag)...me and the boys were on the white team, and Aoishi & family were on the Red....our white team kicked butt. lol but it's not about that of course...just fun.
maybe aoishi can explain better the cultural significance of the day...to me, it was meeting and talking with people while helping setup, curry rice lunch, and all in fun games like relay race, tug o war, etc. mostly for kids but it was fun that the adults got in on some of the action. we had to leave a bit early since we are having friends visit....we had alot of fun. how did the festivities end, Jeremy?
